I think it’s safe to say that the ringing season is over, after another in a long series of very quiet days. It was a beautiful autumnal day though, and the lack of bird activity meant we could go for a lovely run in the sun – it was just about warm enough for shorts and t-shirt!

I think female solsort (blackbirds) are very underappreciated. They have a really stunning plumage.

Nothing else of note has happened today, so I’ll keep it brief - the data speaks for itself.

Cheers!
