I undertook my first ringing session on Beddington's Hundred Acre this morning and it was certainly a good start. Magnus A and Kevin G tagged along for a look. 15 birds ringed, mainly in the first couple of rounds of the two nets, included a
Moorhen, a
Reed Bunting and two
Redwings. A calling
Siberian Chiffchaff caught our attention and showed fairly well while two
Water Pipits buzzed around and a
Cetti's Warbler called tantalisingly close to one of the rides.

A quick walk around Canons Farm in the evening was quiet, save for a calling
Little Owl and 60
Fieldfares. A
Sparrowhawk flew over at home.
