UEA Campus ringing 21/01/11


A great morning at the East end of campus with 137 birds caught. Including 8 birds not ringed by UEARG (though same ring string so presumably from nearby)

Totals as follows with retraps in brackets

Great tit 40(15 –including 5 controls)
Blue tit 45 (16- including 3 controls)
Dunnock 4
Blackbird 7
Robin 5
Chaffinch 2
Greenfinch 2
Green woodpecker 1

Of the retraps, of interest:
7 were caught in winter 2009/10, 5 in spring summer 2009, 1 in may 2009- ringed as a pullus in a nest box, 1 ringed December 2008. All were GRETI or BLUTI.

Thanks to all involved.
