I joined the team at Oxwich National Nature Reserve, a wonderful place for nature and people and somewhere I spent may days as a child.
The ringing site, a mixture of reed bed and scrub produced 160 birds, with over 20 Greenfinches - mostly juveniles a Kingfisher and a breeding couple of Redpoll sp
All in all a brilliant morning, and when I managed to take off my woolly hat the sun was wonderful, if a little to bright for continued catching.
