A birdy breakfast

This morning I was out on Cannock Chase with Brewood Ringers to catch birds at a feeding station as they arrived for breakfast.  After setting the nets it was evident that a huge number of redwing had clearly arrived in the last few days, with several hundred passing over us during the morning.

The session ended with a respectable 39 new birds including 3 great spotted woodpeckers, 14 goldcrest, 7 lesser redpoll, 2 coal tits and a single nuthatch and redwing.  All in all, a lovely way to spend a morning.
