Monday (6th) produced 31 birds in the trap - totals with re-traps in brackets were: Shelduck 4 (5), Wigeon 8 (3), Pintail 1, Teal 1, Mallard 2 (7). 16 new birds but the five re-trap Shelduck were also particularly pleasing as they were all from March 2011 and all ringed within 1km of the trap. Pintail are ofcourse always special and bring the winters total to 8 - our best winter so far and there may be more to come yet. A drake Smew seen on the river at Duffield was a nice bonus, along with an obliging Kingfisher that's obviously trying to sit the cold snap out locally.

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.
