More Teifi & more about tits

Teifi;-
A look at the gulls, poor as most flew straight to sea due to late HT. But 48+ Common Gulls caught my eye amongst the Black-Headed, roosting below the GVP. Also nice to see the male Shoveler from there.

Teifi Valley Ringing;-
Following Paddy's note on his Blue Tit ad:1st yr ratio. in the Lampeter Vale.
Figures from here, of 25 Blue Tits caught , 7 ad's. Clearly a better ratio in terms of breeding/survival.
We also trapped 11 Coal Tits y'day if anyone hadn't suspected that there are good nos. around!
