The week began with fairly mild conditions and the recent trend continued of ringing totals of around 100 birds - mainly made up of Chiffchaff and Blackcap with the former making up the majority.
Then a session on Thursday saw a drop in numbers with only 23 new birds ringed.
Fast forward to Sunday and a weekend of unsettled weather, fall in temperature and the skies saw a increase in finches and thrushes.
This mornings total bumped up to 54 with the finch arrival noteworthy including 4 species of finch with Lesser Redpoll and Linnet both new for the year.
