Last bit of southern ringing...

Just one week to go before we move to Canna, where I hope the birds I'll be nest recording and ringing will include Oystercatchers, Lapwing, Curlew, Snipe, Twite, and a host of seabirds.

For now though, I'm just enjoying a few warblers down here in Suffolk.

Blackcaps and Chiffchaffs are everywhere, and we're now seeing the first Garden Warblers, and Lesser Whitethroats arriving. Swallow numbers are building too, with up to a dozen regularly feeding around the meadows at Wyken.



Chiffchaff in Suffolk. Hope there'll be plenty when I arrive on Canna!
