This very smart Mistle Thrush was trapped in the Heligoland trap at Cristin mid-morning, and represents the 12th to be ringed on Bardsey. The previous one was thirteen years ago in 2001!
Tuesday 7 October 2014
A day of strong winds and scattered cloud saw a much reduced passage of seabirds off the coast. Non-passerines seen during the day included six Common Scoters, a Merlin, a Golden Plover, a Lapwing and two Mediterranean Gulls. Migrants away from the coast were fairly hard to come by: seven Skylarks, four Swallows, 76 Meadow Pipits, a Grey Wagtail, one White Wagtail, one Song Thrush, one Mistle Thrush, 37 Chaffinches and 28 Goldfinches were recorded.
