Chaffinch - one with what appears to be someone elses ring (R877817) but havnt got access to IPMR to check. Later news: no it isn't but one of ours ringed in 2005 and not seen since!
Blackbird - either an influx or birds targeting the softer ground of the churned up verges where Moneyclose lane has been resurfaced - looking at the number of unringed birds, probably the former with the birds using the latter! 22 were seen on a vist to Ocean Edge mid-afternoon
