Kestrel and Redwings

Dave, Heather, Cedwyn and Charlie went ringing at Ty'n-y-caeau Farm this morning. With 22 birds caught it was a case of quality over quantity again.

Redwing - 12
Blackbird - 3 (2 new and 1 retrap)
Dunnock - 2 (both retraps)
Chaffinch - 1
Greenfinch - 1
Linnet - 1
Blue tit - 1
Kestrel - 1

The redwings and kestrel were new for the farmland bird project. The kestrel would have been a ringing tick for all four ringers so Dave pulled rank! Pictures by Charlie.
