Llandinam update

Thanks to Paul Irving for this report: "since the last weekend in January we have had up to 3 Bramblings in the garden, 2 males and a female. I have now ringed 176 Siskins this winter in the garden and almost 120 Goldfinches, I've caught Siskins from Aberdeen and Peebles in Scotland and already had a Goldfinch go to Hampshire, controlled a month after ringing. Still seeing up to 2 Little Egrets and 1 Great White Egret here in Llandinam Gravels and the Herons are back at the local heronry (about 10 nests)."

    That’s a lot of Siskins and Goldfinch, well done!

    Great stuff-especially to know how far they can travel! We make too many assumptions!
