birdwatching and beyond edge hill university mere sands wood tuesday 8 march 2011 brambling to norway this week we received news of some swlrg ringed birds that have been either caught elsewhere or found dead a lapwing ringed on banks marsh as a pullis on 23rd april 1997 was found dead on penrhyn beach llandudno on 29th december 2010 two days short of 5000 days between encounters at 4998 days brian and dave have ringed the majority of the group s brambling in recent years one of which has been controlled by ringers in norway ringed as a 5 male in january 2009 it was trapped on 18th november 2010 in bomyra randaberg the distance between the sites is 489 miles but due to the nature of brambling populations the bird might have taken a different route to the previous year other recoveries included a goldfinch ringed at crosby hall that was controlled on walney island cumbria and a kestrel found injured in burnley that was ringed as a chick at altcar you can read about these

norway recoveries sunday 27 february 2011 ringing totals 2010 it has taken a while but all 2010 data is now submitted to the bto and we can provide the ringing results for the year in total 6032 birds were ringed of 73 different species a few observations from ian wolfenden group secretary we handled twice as many birds as 2009 but ringed just less than double more retraps blue tit appears to have the honour of being the first species for which we have ringed over 1000 in a year changing fortunes are reflected with more reed warblers ringed than sedge warblers more blackcaps than whitethroats and more chiffchaffs than willow warblers greatly improved totals for chaffinch goldfinch greenfinch and blackbird hopefully reflect increasing populations while linnet numbers continue to decline swlrg also ringed our first cetti s warbler on rimrose valley posted another good total of swifts at fazakerley and continued the barn owl nest box program the increase in the totals can be attributed to an increased effort of group members as well as an increase in the number of sites being opperated full grown ringed pulli ringed retraps processed total handled mute swan 2 0 0 2 canada goose 3 0

to facebook share to pinterest wednesday 13 october 2010 the year so far 2010 has been a significantly busier year for members of sw lancs ringing group as the annual total of birds ringed in 2009 a grand total of 3013 birds had already been surpassed in september part of this increase has been down to an increased number of net hours with some members of the group being able to get out more frequently than in 2009 as well as the addition of a new ringing site at brook vale on rimrose valley country park male reed bunting brook vale so far the group has posted significant totals of swifts swlrg rings between 25 and 40 of swifts ringed in the uk each year despite there not being a single swift ringed since may due to weather conditions unfortnuately barn owls haven t had a great year in sw lancs with little increase on last years total anecdotal evidence suggests a more scattered breeding season with some boxes producing young very early and some boxes were occupied yet eggs weren t laid until late on the last box was re checked only last week following a september visit revealed a bird on eggs sadly the eggs were cold although two full grown birds were in the box barn owls the addition of brook vale as a group site has seen a diversification in species on the group totals with lesser whitethroat and garden warbler not ringed in 2009 being caught and over three times as many blackcaps being ringed at brook vale than the group ringed in 2009 with two and a half months still to go until the annual totals can be collated there is still a lot of ringing to be done let s see
