And not getting home til 4.30 meant no birding at Druridge today. We did go down to Druridge though, chucked some twite food down and packed the ringing site up, taking the poles away to stop them getting nicked, now that the leaves are gone from the trees, they are really obvious.
So, that's it, no more ringing til next May. Well, not quite, we are hoping the twite will find this food and we can whoosh net some of them. We might also try trapping some stonechats and thrushes and maybe even water rails over the winter.
Hopefully I might get some birding in this week, I've procured a little owl nest box, so will need to check out some sites for it.
I help out a local ringer Ipin, looking at the poles sticking out that motor reminds me of some scarey moments, we stick our poles out the side window!
