Pottering around.


Blackbird in Potter Trap

Have had some good results with a Potter trap in my front garden border, three days of ringing has produced:

Blackbirds  11 new and 2 retraps
Robins         4 new and 1 retrap
Dunnock      1 new
Great tit        1new

One of the retrap Blackbirds of interest first ringed in same location 20/02/08 as a Juv male but has not been retrapped since.

  1. Hi Dave, I once made a potter after copying a picture in Ennions book 'house on the shore'. It was a good one for tits when too windy for netting.

    All the best for Christmas and the New Year....
