Brent Goose Green AX has reached Germany and was present between 17th and 27th April at Langenwerder in Germany. Last seen at Blue House Farm in February great to see it is on the way to the breeding grounds and good to get a length of time for stop over in Germany.

@PaulHawky Actually got some nets up then at long last? Well done - expect to see some data on Demon soon! PRO.

@RupertEvershed @TyttGP Has anyone been able to read any of the numbers on the ring? The Glos bird was ringed on Alderney and could possibly be this bird if any of the numbers tie up? I know the ringer on Alderney that ringed it so can pass on if numbers can be read.

12 Grey Herons kicked off our colour ringing project at Netherhall on Saturday. Thanks to the team for a slick operation in good weather.

Please all share this as it affects the wild birds who are currently at Deangate Ridge.

Just think everyone should see this now, it was sent mistakenly to a senior golfers and not to its intended recipient Bob diamond ....

last line you wont believe ..

A decent roost this evening at Little Marlow GP. It included Black-headed Gull "Yellow 2KRC" which has been a regular winter visitor here since Feb 2016. It was ringed at Pitsea landfill as an adult in March 2015

At last! Old English Goats arrived from @Legacygrazing yesterday to help manage important SSSI grassland on Cheshunt Marsh @LeeValleyPark Looking forward to checking on them later today, hope they've settled in and are feeling hungry - there's plenty of scrub for them to munch!

First catch of Brent Geese in Essex for 40 years on Saturday. 18 birds colour ringed. Thanks to the team at Blue House Farm for their support and making the catch session happen.
