Busy couple of days

Went to Deer Hill on Wednesday morning . I was greeted to 11 Twite on the wires near the feeding station so i set up and waited. 6 Birds caught with 2 retraps from Deer Hill, last caught here in August 07. A Control from Whiteholme reservoir and 3 new birds which is always good.

All the Twite caught so far from whiteholme and Deer Hill in March 08 have all been male birds showing good pink rumps.
