Welcome to the LDV NNR ringing blog, this blog is designed to share the experiences, findings and tales from a group of dedicated ringers. We specialise in conservation orientated research projects, largely focusing on wildfowl, waders, owls and birds of conservation concern, in and around the Vale of York NNR's.
NB - Whilst the purpose of this blog was initially designed to cover our nationally important wildfowl ringing activities, it now also features wildlife and work posts, explaining how we manage the NNR for both wildlife and people.

27/07/11 - Wheatear!
Whilst cutting & baling in the meadow at Thornton Ellers a Wheatear was spotted by Steve, it was later trapped and ringed using a spring trap and mealworms. Beforehand a Yellow Wagtail was also lured in!
