This picture would make an incredible album cover! 🦅
Yesterday morning we colour-ringed a nest of young Northern Goshawk at a private site in Staffordshire.
Truly stunning and deadly raptors. We’re privileged to monitor this species and look forward to future recoveries.
2/2. Some interesting movements from last years birds has already emerged, along with productivity data. The furthest travelled was a Sandwich Tern to Namibia in it's first winter. Plus, some of last years Mediterranean Gulls are back in the colony this year.
Barn Owls did poorly last year nationally, though on one estate in NW Norfolk they did okay, but are doing better this year in most areas. Conducted under the appropriate licences. 2/2

1/2. Scolt Head Gull and Tern pulli ringing day (19th) with Natural England yesterday resulted in 201 Sandwich Tern, 79 Black-headed and 62 Mediterranean Gulls ringed, most also fitted with colour rings. @btobirds.bsky.social @naturalengland.bsky.social @norfolknats.bsky.social #BirdRinging
A further visit to the NW Norfolk estate produced another 11 juvenile, an adult Barn Owl at three boxes, a Stock Dove, a Stone Curlew off the estate and a colour ringed Stonechat at Dersingham Bog. Appropriate licences held.

Monitoring Sculthorpe Moor on 15th was a quite affair with 21 birds, 4 Reed, 3 Sedge, Whitethroat and Willow Warbler. One of the Sedges was the Spanish ringed bird still present. @hawkandowl.bsky.social @norfolknats.bsky.social @wvbs2025.bsky.social
