Ruffled Feathers

Very pleased that I've managed to sort out a new bird ringing trainer. Simon Evans in Suffolk was a star to keep me on as his C permit ringer when I moved to Scotland, but now I'm in the land of more trainers (Scotland has a definite dearth) I am now with Tony Cross.

Tony is, of course, well known among ringers for his wader dazzling exploits, and I met him the other night for a chat and a quick Woodcock session. 5 birds caught (Tony bagged the first 3, to show me how dazzling works), which was great.

Tony's also well known for his ringing blog Ruffled Feathers http://midwalesringers.blogspot.co.uk/

Thanks to Tony, and of course to my trainers in the past - Ian Dillon and Simon Evans.
