There has been no ringing for the last two weeks due to the continued wet and windy weather. Given the amount of rain recently I suspect that most of the rides will be inaccessible next time I visit. In the meantime, I’ve received two new recovery reports: One of a 1st year Sedge warbler ringed at SML on 31st August 2017 and controlled as an adult a year later at Noyant, Soulaire-et-Bourg, Maine-et-Loire, France on 14th August 2018 and a second of a 1st year Chiffchaff ringed at Lodge Hill, Chattenden, Medway on 27th September 2018 and controlled at SML on 2nd November 2018.
In the absence of anything more interesting to report, I would like to take this opportunity to wish my handful of regular readers a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
