Mullock and St Brides

The male Black Redstart is still at St Brides (if its the same bird given the passage being recorded on Skokholm) and we had an excellent ringing session at Mullock today which included a nice male Brambling (nearly completing its abrasion into full adult plumage) , it was  skinny but weighed an acceptable 21gm.  We also caught a female Nuthatch which doesn't sound unusual but its the first here in 27 years.  Otherwise lots of Chaffinches and Goldfinches and, increasing lately, a few Greenfinch.
