Over on the right you will see that I have updated the ringing totals for Fylde Ringing Group up until the end of April. We are 53 ahead of where we were last year despite April's totals being third worst for the year so far. April always adds lots of new species ringed due to the arrival of summer migrants and we added Collared Dove, Tree Pipit, Cetti's Warbler, Sedge Warbler, Reed Warbler, Lesser Whitethroat, Whitethroat, Blackcap and Willow Warbler.
Below are the top three ringed for April and the top ten 'movers and shakers' for the year.
