Probably the best bird of the week for us was this Little Bunting caught and ringed ar the Warren . It wasnt quite as pleased to see us as we were to see it.

House Martin

Just thought id show you how house proud a House Martin can be .Dont know who they expect to clean this lot up though

Great Spotted Woodpcker

Caught in the trap and ringed then shown in the hand.  Quite an obliging  bird
