With the weather not being very good this winter with heavy rain and strong winds I have not managed to do much bird ringing this year so far but with improving weather over the last couple of weeks I have managed a couple of sessions ringing up at Jerbourg and one weekend in Alderney. With the total of birds rung this spring being  hundred and six and 13 guillemot and one gannet at the GS PCA with the spring  nearly over I'm hoping to get two or three more sessions up at Jerbourg the the best bird of the year so far was a Nightingale trapped and rung in Alderney on the 22/04/14 the total of birds rung is as follows out the GS PCA one gannet 13 guillemot one sand Marton 18 swallows one house Marton five wren 4 dunnock 1 Nightingale 4 blackbirds 2 song thrush 6 white throat 29 Black cap 12 chiffchaff 8 willow warbler 1 blue tit 2 great tit 2 green finch 2 gold finch with the seabird season just about to start myself and Paul and Catherine took a trip to lihoumel to look at cormorants for colour ringing but the young birds were not ready yet so we are looking to go back in about two weeks time.
