Karl D. Tarratt Photography & Bird Ringing

…from our August 6th CES.

These are the photographs (courtesy of Sam) as promised of the Sparrowhawk (sparr) I ringed 2 weeks ago, you can’t really appreciate how magnificent birds really are until you get them in your hand and you can see the markings on the feathers close-up, they really are amazing.

I was feeling quite chuffed with myself having ringed this Sparr thinking how lucky I was to get the chance as the site only usually gives up one or two a season so you can imagine how happy I was to get the chance again this week, 2 in a fortnight!
