This isn’t going to be a particularly long blog given that I
could fall asleep at any second following a weekend at my first music festival
of the summer. T’was a rather quiet festival compared to some I’ve been to but
still very enjoyable none the less. A
conversation with the current lead singer of Hawkwind was a memorable moment as
was discovering the Irish legends that are the Saw Doctors. How the hell have I
managed to miss these. Damn my age!
Anyway, just before I set off last week I met up with fellow
ringer Andy Daw up at Kingston Maurward to follow up a visit we made a few
weeks previous to check some Barn Owl boxes. A few boxes had eggs last time so
we were hopeful of a few chicks. As you can see there were some!
Six were ringed in total from two nests plus we ringed a
couple of Stock Dove which had moved into some of the boxes.
One box contained Kestrel eggs last time and this time it
contained 5 rather small Kestrel chicks. They weren’t big enough to ring so we’ll
have to pop back in a couple of weeks.
That’s I’m afraid. I’m
off for a nap!
