The bird ringing team had another busy afternoon and evening, catching a wide range of passerines in the woodland and some super water birds, out on the mud. Jade and Rihanna are pictured, discussing how to age Ruff by feather shape and colour. The highlight for Roger, was catching a juvenile Gadwall, a new ringing species for him.
