CES Visit 8 14/07/2017

This visit we managed to retrap a breeding female Blue Tit that was born in 2011, we have caught her every year since then, apart from 2016 when we thought she had maybe died, so it was a nice surprise to see her back on our site this year still looking sprightly. Although she is now 6 she has a few more years to catch up as the BTO longevity record for a Blue Tit is 10yrs.

50 birds were caught to-day, this visit was a vast improvement on last years Visit 8 with only 32 birds caught on the same visit.
