RESULTS    

below are a seletion of the 64 birds that are breeding in my cabins at this moment in time. They are actually breeding and rearing and not setup for photographs. So far this year 74 babies have been rung with this years rings. Breeding commences at the end of September with the hope of ironing out all the problems early onready to have as many chicks as possible in the nest boxes when the rings arrive, hopefully between Xmas and New year.
