2017 Group Ringing Totals

In 2017 we finished on a total of 1832 new birds and 286 retraps. We processed c800 birds less than last year with a few hundred less Sandwich Tern pulli, no Swallow roost catches, less Stomies & waders, c600 less tits and finches with basically no garden ringing and no ringing in Nov & Dec. Much higher numbers of Sand Martins and Sedge Warblers brought totals back up a bit.
