Poor show

Saturday 11 January...first ringing session of 2014 at the orchard....and a very quiet one.  14 birds in total including 4 Redwing.  There was around 35 Fieldfare flying around with some Redwing in tow and around double the number of Starlings.  The nets continue to remain void of Fieldfares.
Its always nice to catch a Coal Tit....


But the highlight today was....a Wren....!

..............this is not only the first Wren I have caught at the orchard.....

 .....but also the first AA ring sized bird which is pretty amazing as I am used to catching a number of Goldcrest during the winter as they have always seemed relatively regular in orchards previously....

...but im not complaining as Wrens are rather fabulous little birds.....
