Chaffinch

[greg]

Took a photo of this Chaffinch a few days ago. Only just noticed it has a ring on.
If I could have read the details on the ring, or if it had died and I had access to the ring, what should I have done with that data?

The BTO are always keen to hear about birds spotted with rings either alive or dead

Thanks. I've bookmarked the link.
I'll have to keep taking photos to see if I can get the full number. It would be interesting to find out the birds origin.

A m. chaff this morning, bright and early. Looked to be in splendid condition and was quite vocal.
Actually, I think I heard him yesterday but didn't realise what was calling.

A pair of chaffs today, inside the feeding cage, quite at home .

That is good placi. Don't see them in my garden.

Well done Placi. Chaff visits to the chateau garden are intermittent. A couple of weeks ago they were present every day, recently nothing.

Know it is still December but my male Chaffinches colours appear to be bright for this time of the year.

Lovely bird to have in the garden butterfly. Would love to see them in my garden.
