A bit of garden ringing before work this morning.
Best bird was a possible control Swallow - a female with a brood patch, so nesting somewhere near by, but at the moment I'm not sure if she was ringed on Canna, or possible on one of the other nearby islands (Rum, Eigg, or Muck). Ring number X955972.
Totals for the hour's ringing were:
Swallow 1 (1)
Robin 1
Blackbird 1
Whitethroat 1
Willow Warbler 3
Chaffinch 4
Greenfinch 1
Goldfinch 1
I also found out just now that three Greenfinches I've caught here in the last few days were originally ringed on the island of Rum.
