Val, Mya and I had quite a busy ringing session at Cissbury this morning. We caught 80 birds including 39
Willow Warblers (with a good few more around), six
Garden Warblers, 16
Blackcaps, seven
Whitethroats, a
Lesser Whitethroat and a
Bullfinch. While doing the rounds I found a
Pied Flycatcher - perhaps two - by one of the tracks and picked up 10 distant
Wheatears from our ringing station. During a later walk around the Ring itself, I encountered a
Tree Pipit and another
Lesser Whitethroat, as well as three
Mistle Thrushes. A
Swift, two
House Martins, 25
Swallows and a
Raven were among the other birds noted.
