After a lengthy spell of being unable to go ringing it was great to be out with Paul at Ty Rhyg trying to catch some autumn migrants - and unlike in the summer sessions - we did actually catch some birds! At dawn a few redwings dropped in but the main species was goldcrest with 24 being ringed out of a total catch of 65.
Much to Paul's delight a yellow-browed warbler had appeared in a mistnet in Steve's garden two days previously, so we were very optimistic when checking the nets, but we caught nothing unusual though adult male goldfinch and redpoll always brighten up the session.
