It must have been amazing to see the birds so closely and help with the ringing etc. I have always been puzzled by why they don't die of fright when they are handled. Maybe you could ask one of the experts that when you speak to them again :-)<br /><br />I loved the photo of the Starlings feeding on the last post....and the one of Findlay feeding ;-)ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1087997614866569468.post-77311159159739020302012-11-26T11:53:35.477+00:002012-11-26T11:53:35.477+00:00You sure had a great day and a memorable experienc...You sure had a great day and a memorable experience Findlay, as Sharon says we were also there in the afternoon, had a lovely wander around the book stands etc, and we froze in the Swan link hide for an hour or so.

You only missed one bird. As Brian and I packed away the last bird into the net was a Redwing. This was a first for me. By checking the white marks on the Tertial feathers and checking the shape of the tail feathers we established it was a juvenile, then when measuring the wing length we found it could only possibly meet the female criteria. I will comment every now and again to let you know what we are doing. I love the blog. Take care.
