- Love getting recoveries, Sedge Warbler I ringed at Clopton, Cambs on 11 Aug 24 - retrapped 11 days later in France. Amazingly whilst I was at another site near Nantes (only a few km away) catching passage Sedge Warblers in a reedbed on the same day - so close!
- Two days in the motherland
- Family trip to the Natural History Museum today to see the Birds - brilliant & bizzare exhibition.

Especially interesting southerly re-orientation from Shetland. Many thanks to the ringers & birders who reported these". 📸Reg Thorpe. @alexanderlees.bsky.social
- Nearly end game at Clopton (South Cambs), so close to 2000 birds caught and ringed since mid-July. 2024 being the first experimental autumn here, on what is a small patch of scrub on an 80m SW-leading escarpment in otherwise arable desert. Its a lovely site and seeing 52 dawns has been ace.

- Reposted by BucktonbirderAn excellent morning down the Porth Hellick ringing lanes with a dusky warbler, two yellow-broweds, four sibes (tristis) amongst the chiffs, a water rail added some variety, and I found a Richard’s pipit whilst showing the dusky to a crowd of two! November eastern magic 🙌 #ScillyBirds 🪶
