June Ringing Totals

420 birds of 28 species ringed during June. This is the highest June total for 10 years and far better than the paltry 160 birds ringed in June last year. We must, however, put this in perspective as June ringing totals last century were often far higher with a maximum of 822 ringed in June 1995. The Pied Wagtail total is notable as 11 ringed exceeds our previous best ever annual total for this species.
