Saturday 13th June 2015

Spent the day (10 hrs anyway) with friends from the North Wilts Ringing Group on what we cheekily call a "safari" on the downs in North Wiltshire.

Having a great relationship with landowners is really important and today was no exception.

Most ringers would have stayed in bed today, in fact we had a ball with plenty of nest boxes checked and two impromptu mist netting sessions.

As I will be leaving the area shortly today was quite special with some of my favourite birds ringed
