Dorset Birds
Portland
These pictures show some of the birds which have been trapped and ringed, just before they are released.
The first bird trapped was a nightingale.
This was followed a few minutes later by a young greenfinch.
The next morning a Willow Warbler was the first arrival.
This was followed by a moulting Linnet.
Later the same morning a Spotted Flycatcher was caught.
The next morning another Willow Warbler arrived.
Later a Pied Flycatcher was caught.
A distant view of a House Sparrow caught in the net.
This is a Garden Warbler photographed in 2002.
A Whitethroat also in 2002.
Many thanks to Martin Cade for allowing me to take the above pictures.
