I made a triple high net with ikea poles! Cost me about £100, for reference Dr. fiancé is 190cm tall, the poles measure 840cm. For something I made myself, I am pretty happy with the result 😊 Can send details if you want to replicate it! #birdringing

These tawny owlets are ready for the world - but before they fly they need ID rings 🦉🦉💍

Want to see what 13 years' worth of Black-headed gull ringing looks like on a map of Europe?! 🤔 Over 2000 birds colour-marked & over 10,000 re-sightings later. Watch till the end #BirdRinging

Can't find the words to describe this #feeling ! Seeing for the first time and extracting from the net a #PallidHarrier during the #birdringing season at Passo Brocon in the Italian Alps. This stunning juvenile #male is the first for the station. Lucky to enjoy it from so close!

When I woke up yesterday morning, I'd never even seen a Waxwing. A few hours later, I was holding one in my hand, fitting it with a unique colour ring combination as part of the BTO ringing scheme. What a privilege to see these stunning birds up close.

A belated thanks to all who helped with Abberton CES #birdringing this summer 🙌. Nearly 600 birds processed. Plenty of juveniles. Pics here of pristine Sedge Warbler, Willow Warbler and Lesser Whitethroat from August 💚

So thrilled to see this LITTLE BITTERN on our last day #BirdRinging in The Gambia 🇬🇲

A smaller cousin of our Great Bittern, these guys migrate between Africa and Southern Europe. They are moving northwards, however, and some individuals overshoot and end up in the UK.

More Waxwing ringing! This one seemed determined to munch my finger off, obviously hadn't quite had his fill of Rowan berries.

I'm very excited to say I have received my Ringing C Permit for Passerines and Barn Owls along with a Mist Net endorsement! #BTO #BirdRinging

The #wheatear season is still going on and even at the end, we find new #nest : 41 in total for 2023 !
In these days, we are resighting ringed birds and trapping adults and fledgelings we couldn't reach in the nest .

I tried something different last night and went for a night time hike to a Cork mountaintop in simply shocking weather. But it was worth it - I confirmed the continued survival of red grouse at the site, managing to capture and ring this simply stunning adult male. #birdringing

A nice early winter ringing session today. Fairly quiet, but always special to catch some winter thrushes, and a tit flock added some variety.

Check out that rosy eyeshadow on the Long-tailed Tit, what a little stunner!

Just received news of a Chiffchaff ringing control, SML’s 50th Chiff control since 1993. Ringed on 30/09/23. Controlled on 19/11/23 at Quinta da Atalaia, Setúbal, Portugal. Details of all controls at SML are in my blog. #birdringing

Very very happy to catch and ring this Magpie in the garden this morning, despite me now missing a chunk of my finger as a result 😁 #BirdRinging Such a stunning bird and a first for me 😍
