…nearly stopped the ringing session this morning before we started but held off in the end! I was able to ring 4 birds today, Blackbird (♂), Song Thrush (♀), Green Woodpecker (♂) and a Jay (♀), the Jay was a retrap first ringed in Sept. 2006
The Jay and Green Woodpecker are the largest birds I’ve ringed so far and they certainly were harder to handle with much stronger beaks to nip you with and larger claws with which to grab your fingers, tightly!
Already looking forward to the next session!
