Couldn't resist getting a net out in the garden over the weekend for an hour on Saturday and for Sunday afternoon with this goldfinch being the lucky bird to be the first caught.

Caught 13 birds in total over the couple of sessions with house sparrow, 3 greenfinch and 2 goldfinch. The usual Saturday morning ringing produced 17 new and 52 re-traps.

Great tits are feeding young now and a collared dove is now incubating.
