Wyke Ringing (part two)

Just some more details of the series of unremarkable recoveries I've had of birds ringed here at Wyke since I began in 2006 with a couple of nets around the bird tables.

A series of recoveries from a ringing site near Bridgnorth following a similar pattern, being ringed in the autumn and re-caught here in the new year.

This was my first out of Shropshire bird - I was so happy!   Ringed at a migration point on the Mull of Kintyre near Cambeltown and re-caught here during winter (or possibly on route somewhere else given the date).

Two good Siskin recoveries nicely illustrating the marked difference in recovery rates for certain species, having only ringed 55 Siskins here compared to hundreds of other Finches.

The numbers of Greenfinches caught each year has massively declined since I started as I caught 30-40 Greenfinches each winter from 2006 - 2010 after which it dropped off dramatically to just 1-7 birds from 2011 onwards.
