Migrants in the garden

Blackcap

An early start for a ringing session in my garden at Wyken Hall, Suffolk, this morning. Had the net open by 05.15, and had a steady trickling of birds until I had to pack up to get to work.

Nice to see the first of the season's migrants popping into the net (predictably, Blackcap and Chiffchaff), as well as a couple of nice retraps.
