JAMEY AND MOLLY AT CREEPY COTTAGE
Sunday the 22nd of January seen the first ringing session at Killellan woods since I began baiting the site 2 weeks ago with peanuts and various seed. It was obvious that there were a good number of birds around upon our arrival, Mostly BLUE and GREAT TITS and the odd COAL TIT which was only to be expected at this site. I was aware of the two RAVENS calling overhead and imagine that they will be nesting very shortly in the nearby quarry. BULLFINCH were also heard in the woods and a small party of SISKINS landed in the tree tops down by the car. A single MISTLE THRUSH was seen along with small numbers of BLACKBIRD. Was surprised when Blackbird were not caught as th
e apples I had laid down showed signs of being eaten but I now suspect that it could be the rabbits that are feeding on them.
Although a tape lure for GOLDCREST was running none were capture though I had heard them in the area on previous visits. Totals for the day were;
BLUE TIT - 36
GREAT TIT - 34
COAL TIT - 1
CHAFFINCH - 8
ROBIN - 1
DUNNOCK - 1
TOTAL FOR DAY 81 BIRDS
