With my final year of undergraduate university taking over the 1st 1/3 of the year, Masters fieldwork and a holiday to Scilly taking over the 2nd 1/3 and a combination of my Research Masters and Welsh weather taking over the final third of the year, I have by no means got out ringing as much as I'd have liked to.
All things considered however, I've had an enjoyable first year with my trusty 30ft (and 40ft) mist-net. I've managed to handle a few species that I'd previously not handled in the UK or at all including:
Twite (Kelvin's rings)
Ringed Plover (SCAN rings)
Meadow Pipit (Steve and my rings (I ringed pullus))
Jay (my rings)
Wheatear (Rachel, Kelvin and my rings)
Bar-tailed Godwit (SCAN rings)
Grey Heron (Tony Cross's rings)
Dipper (My rings)
Carrion Crow (my rings)
