Evil outside this morning with the Twite ringing session successful courtesy of the ability of hatchbacks to block out most of the wind. The metal-only ringed bird was caught and proved a bit of a puzzle as it was assumed that it was one of the later Machrihanish-ringed birds from last autumn when they ran short of colour rings.........but it is not the same sequence as the rest of the Mach birds = L974510. The early arrival of the precipitation curtailed the session but almost certainly a majority of the current unringed birds were caught, assuming at least some of the same birds each day (11 ringed; max seen recently 15). A couple of unringed Goldfinch were a bit unexpected.
