@Globalsurv Fake post. It’s still in China.

Please ignore any emails from me. I’ve been hacked.

@georgedunbar_ @GrahamDeacon12 @WiltsBirdClub @BTO_Wilts Well hopefully we will pick a few more up. They’ve had a mediocre breeding season at my sites despite lots of aphids.

[Glen Thomas PhD @2527thomas]

@georgedunbar_ @GrahamDeacon12 @WiltsBirdClub @BTO_Wilts Are there still many about with you George? Most of the local population seemed to have moved out in north Notts although we are still picking a few up as they move through the area.

@Brownsvilleted Have you got many yellow wagtails on the farm at the moment?

[Glen Thomas PhD @2527thomas]

@Brownsvilleted However, slightly concerned that every time I see a picture of you, there is a glass of alcohol in your hand. Sorry half empty glass would be more accurate. 😜

[Glen Thomas PhD @2527thomas]

@Brownsvilleted I look forward to it when it suits you.

[Glen Thomas PhD @2527thomas]

@Brownsvilleted It’s a nightjar chick. Likely to be 7-8 days old. Also known as a goatsucker.

[Glen Thomas PhD @2527thomas]

@Brownsvilleted You’re talking to the wrong person I’m afraid I specialised in addiction problems! Looking forward to visiting you and the farm when it’s convenient. Ringed two of these yesterday morning.

[Glen Thomas PhD @2527thomas]

@PBOprof @Edwardbirding @SussexOrnitholo @SussexBirding Somehow I don’t think it would be the same bird 😜

[Glen Thomas PhD @2527thomas]

@miles_cluff Looks like it’s a ringed bird.

[Glen Thomas PhD @2527thomas]

@Rhewitt2 Nice one Rodger. Catching a few adult siskin but no juveniles yet. Had an adult song thrush in wing moult yesterday - looks like it’s given up on breeding this year.

@alanball101 Be interesting to see if they were siblings from DNA?

[Glen Thomas PhD @2527thomas]

@OwenBeaumont1 @_BTO Well done Owen. I hope you get as much enjoyment out of being a ringer as I have.

[Glen Thomas PhD @2527thomas]

@Brownsvilleted Have you ever had a common bird census undertaken on the farm?

[Glen Thomas PhD @2527thomas]

@Brownsvilleted You need to come out ringing and see some of the birds I ring

[Glen Thomas PhD @2527thomas]

@Rhewitt2 Careful Roger. It looks big enough to carry you off.
