A visit to Lower Drayton Farm yesterday ringing in a sunflower crop saw us ring Greenfinch 75 + 5r Goldfinch 36 + 1r Chaffinch 35 + 1r Brambling 4 Linnet 3 Session cut short by disturbance by a T-Rex🤣🤣 we've never run so fast!!



A Goldfinch we ringed on the 3/11/25 at Lower Drayton Farm in Penkridge, Staffordshire was recaptured on the 11/11/25 at Icklesham, East Sussex, the bird had travelled 172 miles in 8 days and had lost 0.7g, think we'd have lost a bit more weight if we'd have walked it in 8 days!
