In this time, I have handled 105 species including some of my favourite birds in the world (Willow Tit, Bluethroat and Dunlin) and processed an impressive 4500+ birds.
Today I received an email to say that my application for Full C ringing permit has been accepted! I have now sent off the money and should have my permit in the post before too long!
I have put a hell of a lot of effort into my ringing training over the past 2 years and it all seems worth it now I am able to do it by myself.
I would like to say a big thankyou to the people I ringed with and to the people whom have made it a thoroughly enjoyable experience: Steve Dodd, Kane Brides, Christopher Bridge, Craig Brookes, Ciaran Hatsell, Matthew Bruce, Gillian Dinsmore, Ian Lees, Kelvin Jones, Richard De Feu, Adrienne Stratford, Tony Cross, Rachel Taylor, Mark Breaks, Steve Christmas and the rest of the SCAN Wader ringing group.
Hopefully now I have a permit on the way, I will be able to blog a little more!

Congratulations Zac. You certainly earned it!

Well done Zac, it must be very rewarding and it's certainly a wothwhile thing to do. Wouldn't mind finding out about myself after reading your blog, which is very good by the way (you have a new follower). I'm more of a photographer / birder than a twitcher but the more I read you guys the more I get tempted to get the bug!
Keep up the good work and good luck with your targets!
