GEDSER - October Ringing Totals

An awesome 9,131 birds were ringed during this record breaking October with many species appearing in the nets in unheard of numbers - Goldcrests spring to mind as does a day with 189 Wrens (which, looking back is a great new record but it was not really much fun taking them all out of the nets!).    It just needed that one mega, stonking rarity to round it off, perhaps November will produce......
