Crown Point/ Clowbridge Autumn Ringing and Migration Watch 2017..

Its only the first week of August but stuff is defo on the move south once again. Only seems a few weeks ago they arrived back here!!

A few net rides re trimmed this week and an earlier 1st ringing session this year to attempt to catch some more Tree Pipits which by the time i usually get round to trying to catch have mostly gone.

Crown Point Site... 5th August `17.           7 - 10am.. with Burnley Bernard.

2 Nets up.   35 birds ringed.

Arrived at 6.30am, got out of the car to hear a half hearted Willow Warb song then the 2nd bird heard within 30 seconds was a Tree Pipit low over and straight South.. They`re moving already. Makes you wonder what date they actually start to depart. Quickly 2 nets set up, 1 for Tree Pipit and 1 for L Redpoll as these had been heard this week whilst trimming net rides. Between 7 and 9am a further 16 Tree Pipits came over, all high up heading south. Most dropped in around net area and 6 were ringed. Also decent number of W Warb moving through the bushes and a few Redpolls, M Pipits, Swallows and Chaffinch heading south overhead. A Hobby flew over heading west.

Birds moving-

T Pipit - min 16 birds all South with a purpose. ( 6 ringed ).

M Pipit - 20+ 1-2`s South.

R Bunt - c6  singles. ( 1 ringed ).

Chaffinch - 15+ 1-2`s South. ( 7 ringed ).

Hobby - 1 West. (9.45am).

Swallow - c20. South. most 9-10am.

Redpoll - 20+ singles South. ( 4 ringed ).

Birds Present -  Willow Warb ( 14 ringed ), Goldcrest 1, 15+ Mixed Tit flock ( 3 Coal Tit ringed ), Sparrowhawk 1, Kestrel 1, 

Pics of Tree Pipit.

Crown Point site.    11th Aug '17.    6 - 9am.

Sun with a bit of misty cloud. Wind 10+ SW.

2 nets up.   14 birds ringed.

Went up purely to target Tree pipit again and compare movement when its calm (yest) and breezy today.

More birds moving early on but it tailed off again by 8am. Min 18 Tree Pipits went over and most dropped in around net area and with another 9 being caught and ringed it took the total so far to 34!! Amazing considering the almost total lack of any sightings from elsewhere in our area. A bonus Spotted Flycatcher was feeding in the pathside trees before moving off. 1st one i`ve seen up there. A few Mipit went south from dawn but soon stopped. Long-eared Owl flushed from trees.

Birds moving-

Tree Pipit - min 18 South. most dropped in. (9 ringed).

Meadow Pipit - 30+. All early.

Reed Bunt - 4 singles. (1 ringed).

Redpoll - 3 singles. Very quiet. (2 ringed).

Heron - 1 north.

Grey Wagtail - 1 south.

Linnet -1 south.

Swallow - 10+.

Present-

SPOTTED FLY 1, Chiffchaff (1 ringed), W Warb 3+ (1 ringed), Bullfinch 2(pair), Kestrel 1, Sparrowhawk 1, L E Owl 1.

Crown Point.   Sun 13th Aug.     6 - 9am.

Clear, Sunny and no wind.

2 nets up.   12 birds ringed.

A great morning for sunbathing but not much bird migration except for another terrific session for Tree Pipits..and a poss Yellow Wagtail in with them but only got 1 call and a brief view. Arrived early to see 2 T Pipits heading south as soon as i got out of the car again so set up 2 nets quickly and the Pipits kept on arriving , most dropping in but some keeping well away which would probably have been adult birds. Including today`s catch, 44 have been ringed, all of which have been Juveniles. Only other birds seen/heard were 4 House Martins, 2 Common Gulls, 1 Linnet and a few Tits and W Warbs.

Birds moving- (south)

Tree Pipit - 21+... At least another 21 birds passed through south, most dropping in. Lots were not caught as they were sat on branches at side of net, some even sat on top of the net as they could easily see it due to the glaring sun making the nylon netting shine. (7 ringed).

Swallow - 10.

H Martin - 4 together.

Linnet - 1.

Common Gull - 2. 1st seen up there.?

R Bunt - 2. (1 ringed).

Chaffinch - 4+ (2 ringed).

Present-

W Warb 5 (1 ringed)., Dunnock 2 (1ringed), Robin 4 (family party), small mixed Tit flock blogging.

Crown Point.   Mon 21st Aug `17.      6.15 - 10.15am.

Overcast with hazy sun. Wind 5 SE.

4 nets up 54 birds ringed.

A fantastic mornings ringing today in what was presumably perfect conditions for night migrants dropping in and Tree Pipits moving South in the daylight. Not much else moving of the daylight migrants all morning though apart from a trickle of M Pipits and Swallow late morning. 

First 1/2 hr was dead then Tree Pipits started to arrive, most dropping down to net area as usual and they didnt stop till i packed up late morning. A minimum of 43 T Pipits went south that i saw, and i must have missed seeing some as busy ringing. Had 9 in 1 net at one point with several others in trees which flushed away. A total of 27 were caught and ringed today which is a terrific catch. This site is fast becoming the best site for catching Tree Pipit in the country. Thats 75 ringed since 5th Aug.!!

Along with the Pipits other decent birds were in the nets with a young male Redstart, a first Spotted Fly ringed in 30+yrs and lots of W Warb and Chiffchaff present.

Birds moving-

Tree Pipit - a min of 43 birds south, biggest party was 7 together.. (27 ringed).. 

M Pipit - c70 in 2-5`s. Steady trickle all morning. Will target some of these soon.

Swallow - c20. 1-2`s.

Redpoll - 1 !  (1 ringed).

R Bunting - 2 singles.

Stock Dove - 2 singles.

Kingfisher - 1 low through NE from Clowbridge direction towards the whistling tree thingy! Where was that going??

 

Birds present-

W Warb c10 seen but (17 ringed), Chiffchaff 4+ (4 ringed), Goldcrest 2 (1 ringed), Spotted Flycatcher 1 (1 ringed), Redstart 1 ( 1 juv male ringed), Kestrel 3, Dunnock 4+ (2 ringed), Jay 2, Nuthatch 1 calling in trees but wouldn`t go in net.

Is this approach to the eye colour a technique that is being used for all birds Craig or just some species?

Dense fog to start slowly lifting to o/cast.  Wind calm to 5 SE.

4 nets up.  15 birds ringed.

Rubbish today. Thick fog from the off took ages to lift as there was no wind and as such killed any big movement. Once the fog did lift 4 singles of T Pipit did come through and all 4 were caught. Low single figures of M Pipit, Chaffinch and Redpoll only others seen.

Birds moving-

Tree Pipit - 4 singles. (4 ringed).

M Pipit - 5.

Redpoll - 4 together. (2 ringed).

Chaffinch - 4.     2 x 2..    (2 ringed).

Present-

W Warb (6 ringed), Robin 3 (1 ringed), Jay 1, L E Owl 1.

 

Pic -  One of the 79 Tree Pipits caught and ringed so far this autumn...

Craggy,

Purple Heron is a cracking bird...reminds me of foreign holidays.

I like to see the odd rarity at Spurn but if I am honest I love seeing common birds on mass migrating. Swallows or Meadow Pipits any day. Trouble is I need somebody like Craig to act as helper for most of the stuff!

Are you guys not arranging a couple of trips there?

Popped up C Point this morning (24thAug), put 3 nets up and after 1/2hr low cloud came in from SW and heavy drizzle came with it. Noticed very little Pipit movement overhead but did have a bonus of 2 Yellow Wagtail South and 3 x 2 Grey Wagtails South in quick succession. First confirmed of either species this autumn. All very high too.

Packed up due to rain 7.30 ! Dead.

Birds moving-  All early am, all South.

Yellow Wag 2, G Wag, 6, T Pipit 1, M Pipit 5.

3 ringed- 1 W Warb, 1 Chaffinch, 1 M Pipit.

Crown Point.   Fri 6th Oct `17.    7 - 10am.

Crystal clear at dawn becoming slightly o/cast by 10. wind 5 NW to calm.

4 nets up.  46 birds ringed.

Despite a beautiful morning after a poor week weatherwise it was still dissapointing in bird numbers moving South. No thrushes except a local Blackbird and 1 Mistle Thrush to the south seen. 3-4 small groups of Redpoll over and less than 30 M Pipits which looks as though this species have mostly gone through. Small numbers of other Finch sp, and a decent Tit flock blogging with other birds in with them inc a Treecreeper but surprisingly no Chiffchaff. Had 3 rapid calls with the tit flock in the distance which could have been a Y B Warb but nothing turned up in the nets when they had passed and no other calls heard. It will surely happen up there soon!

Birds moving South-

Grey Heron - 1 West.

M Pipit - 30 max in singles. Been a quiet year up here for this species. (1 ringed).

L Redpoll - 20+ in small parties. (15 ringed).

Chaffinch - 15+ in 1-2`s. (5 ringed).

Linnet - 3 singles.

Siskin - 4 Singles.

Goldfinch - 10+ in 1-2`s. (6 ringed).

R Bunting - 5 Singles (4 ringed).

M Thrush - 1.

Birds present-    Goldcrest several (12 ringed),  Treecreeper 1 (1 ringed), Robin 3 (1 ringed), Blackbird 1 (1 ringed), Jay 4, Kestrel 1, decent Tit flock c25 birds.

Pics from this morning...

Clear view to the north.

Crown Point..   8th Oct `17.    6.50 - 10am.

O/cast with occ mist. Wind 10 NW turning W and picking up.

3 nets up.  20 birds ringed.

Again another disappointing morning in the nets and overhead considering the conditions and time of year. Set up early to try for pre-dawn Redwings dropping in out of the sky as the daylight appeared. It worked sort of, as 20+ (1st of autumn up here) dropped in within first 45 min but none into any net. In fact, most dropped low but didnt land and carried on west, almost ignoring the lure. Pretty unusual for them not to drop in at first light..  Apart from the redwing early doors it was decidedly quiet. Again very few of the commoner migrants, even quieter than the 6th. Did manage to catch a Redpoll with a ring from elsewhere.

On another topic, we regularly get wagon loads of ****e dumped in the gateway we base as a ringing station varying from household waste, gardening junk, druggy plant pots, old toys, even sex toys, a blow up doll 2 weeks ago, bog roll etc, to which the council must have a weekly collection route up there. They have only just cleared a massive heap of bales and boxes but some thoughtful **** has been up since yesterday with 2 huge mattresses now!! (pictured below). They might come in handy though as its tiring running around when its busy ringing or for a nap under the present slow migration days.??

Birds moving- south unless stated.

Redwing - 20 min.  6, 3, 1, 2 and 8 all from east to west.

M Pipit - c10 in singles.

R Bunt - 1.

Chaffinch - 10 singles.

Goldfinch - 7 together.

Redpoll - only c10 seen but (14 ringed).

Birds Present-

Goldcrest 4-5 seen (6 ringed), Coal Tit 2, L T Tit 8, Chaffinch 4, Robin 4+, Jay 2, Kestrel 1.

 

Pics from today...

Mattresses !!
