Bedfont, Minet and Woolley Firs managed one or two sessions – even a public demo at Woolley Firs – and 75 new birds were ringed including 10 at garden sites.

Great Tit and Blue Tit topped the list of 17 species but there were nice records of Green Woodpecker at Minet, Stonechat and Linnet at Woolley Firs and a Chiffchaff at Bedfont. Thorpe Lea Road produced 4 House Sparrows and 2 Coal Tits.

We were pleased to see that a Yellowhammer we ringed at Woolley Firs Farm in December 2014 is doing well, 5+ years later and was caught and released by Hughenden Ringing Group at Jealott's Hill, about 8km to the south.
