When comparing the 2010 and 2011 totals, it is significant to notice the decline in our ringing totals of finch species. Whilst we have increased our totals of Linnet, Redpoll, Brambling, Bullfinch, Siskin and Reed Bunting we have seen a decline in the numbers of Greenfinch, Goldfinch and Chaffinch despite a similar effort made. The lack of ringing that was completed in late November and all of December will have had a significant impact on the totals of these species in particular.
BIRD OF 2011
Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla)

Runners-up:
Buzzard (Buteo buteo)
Spotted Flycatcher (Muscicapa striata)
INTERNATIONAL BIRD OF THE YEAR 2011
Orphean Warbler (Sylvia Hortensis)
Once again, I wish all ringers, birdwatchers and naturalists everywhere a successful 2012.


Cracking totals Peter!
