The first 3 Grey Herons ringed today as part of our new project. Please report sightings of our colour ringed Herons, Little Egrets and Cormorants @_BTO #ringing #herons
Great to help in a bird ringing demo @Ness_Gardens today with @MerseysideRG & @RoseFroud. Lovely to see so many people enjoying themselves & even better to catch many healthy Greenfinches. A species we’ve not ringed at these demos before
A great day yesterday doing a ringing demonstration @Ness_Gardens in the break in the weather! #ringing #bto
Thanks to @realjoelennon for reporting Cormorant 233 at Portmore Lough, N. Ireland, on 24th Jan. This is just the 2nd bird from our project to be found in Ireland. Last week our Little Egret that went to the Isle of Man was found in N. Wales.
MRG have reached a nice milestone at one of our sites, #woolstoneyes, with a Robin ringed on the 17th January being the 190,000th bird ringed there since 1980. The 100,000 was a Moorhen. I wonder what the 200,000th will be?
In July, decisions were made by @NENorthWest which has resulted in an unprecedented outcome in modern times. 0.5ha of the Dee Estuary SAC is now set to be destroyed on Wirral. @WildJustice_org have been helping to reverse this nationally significant precedent. PLEASE RETWEET!
I retrapped this juv male Sparrowhawk this am. Initially I thought the lesions could be trichomonas infection, but further research seems to suggest Eucoleus dispar. Anyone seen this before? The bird flew off strongly and appeared otherwise healthy.
Thanks to @WayneTurner4 for reporting cormorant 225 from Guernsey on the 5th December. This is our first report of a cormorant to the Channel Islands. #bto
Just heard that this Little Egret has become the first from our project to make it to the Isle of Man. Please check Little Egrets for colour rings and report them so we can learn more about their post juvenile dispersal. #BTO
After last week's Yellow-browed, the "magic garden" has done it again with the first Firecrest of the Autumn. Better still this is the first foreign control Firecrest for MRG. It was wearing a ring from The Netherlands.
The second Yellow-browed Wblr for one members garden ringed this week as part of his goldcrest study, 300+ so for this Autumn. (5000+ ringed over the years). He has also ringed 2 Pallas's Warbler and 54 Firecrest there. Amazing place. Keep up the good work.
Our first cormorant to Northern Island came through this week from Belfast. Thanks to #SandyMcWilliams for the photo and for reporting it.
A few interesting reports of our colour ringed cormorants the last couple of days. One seen again in Brittany, three birds from Rutland Water, (1 new, 1 repeat) and one reported as apparently hit by a car. Can't be many of those for #bto.
Ringed an adult Garden Warbler at #woolstoneyes y'day. Had a moult score of 8/50. (Yes, same on both wings). Central tail feathers moulted too. This species is "winter complete" so shouldn't moult here. Anyone else had garwa moult/arrest moult here?
A small number of knot received leg flags last night at Hoylake (despite the #BlueSuperMoon) Other birds ringed include Sanderling, Redshank, Dunlin, Oystercatcher and an adult Sandwich tern. Please look out for leg flagged knot and report any sightings.
A great photo of one of our colour ringed cormorants spotted at Grafham Water in Cambridgeshire a few days ago! 📸 used with permission #recovery #colourringing #seabirds
I am continually astounded by birds. Being a bird ringer, I get to know these birds on an individual level, and this moulting adult Grey Wagtail is now one of these. Caught in Norfolk today but ringed in 2019 as a fledgling in Cheshire! Birds are amazing. @MerseysideRG

Cowslips beginning to flower in our garden. The wildflower patch has doubled in size since I planted it a few years ago as the plants self-seed
Great to help in a bird ringing demo @Ness_Gardens today with @MerseysideRG & @RoseFroud. Lovely to see so many people enjoying themselves & even better to catch many healthy Greenfinches. A species we’ve not ringed at these demos before
A call from @HERDOFHERDHALL at 6am alerting me to a fall of warblers and Ring Ouzel @hilbrebirdobs had me rushing over before the tide. Warblers seemed to be in every bush, and 3 Ring Ouzel were on, including one caught for ringing. Good numbers of Swallows and Sand Martins.
Found today with @NestingUpNorth c7 Woodcock, I’ve had experts from Britain and Europe look at this and all agree it’s the same female laid them and highly likely a world record. Can anyone involved with the @_BTO confirm. @DBC_Woodcock23 @waderquest . Co Durham @Waderworld1
Our new paper in BB - shows that of the 5 genetically confirmed Moltoni's Warblers from Britain, 2 are assignable to mainland Italian population and 3 to Mediterranean Islands. @penguin_tereza @comicterns Fair Isle has one of each.

Woolston Eyes duckfest! As well as the gorgeous ruddy duck and smart garganey, now a pair of beautiful ferruginous ducks.
A bird I thought I'd never get the chance to see in the UK - drake Ruddy Duck this morning at Woolston Eyes! Three Black-Necked Grebes around and my first Sand Martin of the year too. Bonus 14 Waxwing at Capehurst Close, Wythenshawe on the way home kristianwade.blogspot.com
Historic day, proving its possible, now for England & Wales.
At 16.14hrs on 21st March 2024, in the Scottish Parliament, the licensing of grouse moors in Scotland happened. A great day for raptor conservation!
It’s also important to think carefully before sharing sightings (e.g. on social media) of rare breeding birds in the breeding season - could this lead to disturbance, or worse? Read the RBBP guidance here tinyurl.com/RBBPsound. If in doubt, don’t!
Female Blackcap this morning in the hedge in my front garden, West Kirby. Spring migrant or winter bird?
One of the most astounding vagrant birds to reach North America in recent years has generated huge economic value, according to academics in Illinois: bit.ly/3OY57jM
A pioneering project has shown promising results in the fight to save Aquatic Warbler, Europe's rarest songbird: bit.ly/3OVM3mb
So thrilled to see this LITTLE BITTERN on our last day #BirdRinging in The Gambia 🇬🇲 A smaller cousin of our Great Bittern, these guys migrate between Africa and Southern Europe. They are moving northwards, however, and some individuals overshoot and end up in the UK.
This beautiful place is Betteshanger Country Park. Home to Turtle Doves, Lizard Orchids and countless other rare species such as Fiery Clearwing moth. The future of this special place hangs in the balance as @DoverDC decides whether to allow a hotel and wave park to be built here
The reserve team say goodbye to a close colleague and a much loved friend today. We shall miss working on wetland waterbird projects and birding with Rich, a regular visitor to the hides and trails. Such a great champion for wetland wildlife. wwt.org.uk/news-and-stori…
