Wheatear - one OE saltmarsh
Whimbrel - one Red Nab
Gannet - one far offshore out
This might be the Grasshopper Warbler caught in the morning but may not even be a British ring??? (thanks Janet)
Ringing took place at both Middleton and Heysham.
Although the numbers caught were low, only twelve birds at each site, the highlights were the first Grasshopper Warbler ringed this and first Whitethroats of this spring at Middleton and Heysham.
Willow Warblers - 10
Chiffchaff - 4
Blackcap - 2
Grasshopper Warbler - 1
Whitethroat - 1 (& one seen Heysham)
Reed Bunting - 1
Goldfinch - 1 plus 1 retrap
Dunnock - 1 retrap
Chaffinch - 1 retrap
Blackbird - 1 retrap
Also at Middleton, at least three Grasshopper Warblers, the Lesser Whitethroat of the last few days and two Cetti's singing/calling early morning.
An additional Lesser Whitethroat was singing from the edge of the field next to the bypass roundabout on the south side of the road
