Another good, calm morning with an excellent arrival of Redpolls again the highlight; ringing totals consisted of 89 Common Redpolls, 16 Lesser Redpolls and a beautiful, fluffy, snowball white COUE’S ARCTIC REDPOLL caught as pretty much the last bird of the morning which flew into the net beside me as I was taking other birds out!
I didn’t really look around too much through the morning but there were other Finches evident with Bramblings, Chaffinches and Twite overhead (we also caught the first two Twite of the autumn) along with 4 Whooper Swans, 4 Sparrowhawks (moving south late morning when the sun came out), a Peregrine and a Grey Wagtail.
Not much else to report although there were 2 Slavonian Grebes and a female Stonechat just to the north in Frystrandsfjorden in the afternoon.
