A reasonable mornings ringing, despite a slight frost, included the first chiffchaff and blackcap for the year in a total of 19 new and 35 re-traps. Also around the site included a probable firecrest singing briefly (it wouldn't come to a tape), grey wagtail, 2 tawny owls and a green woodpecker.

Bit of a raptor movement yesterday wth 5 buzzard and 2 sparrowhawk west over the garden. Found a blackbird nest in the garden and the robins are now incubating.
