Mwnt Action

A very windy morning at Mwnt, but our whoosh-netting site was sheltered enough to be usable. Before we'd trapped any Linnets a young Chough wandered rather carelessly into the catching area, making a most excellent start to the day. After that we trapped 55 Linnets and a House Sparrow.


To cap it all a Wryneck arrived in the churchyard to see what we were up to, very competently spotted by Alison as it sat on top of a gravestone.


After we'd finished ringing, Arfon re-located it in the gorse immediately behind our whoosh-net patch, this is his photo.
