A very quiet morning at Vallen, most likely because it was very windy though breeding birds appear to be moving off without birds from further north appearing to have reached us yet. A meagre 44 new birds of 8 species were ringed, which doesn’t sound too bad but is around a quarter of our best day at the site.
