Hi
Bryan

Noticed a few sites recording huge numbers of Blackbirds lately

Wonder if Craig will get those nets out!

Hello Ste,

Great to hear from you as always. Yes your right about the Blackbirds, they have definately been strong up here, but not really noticed much movement on vis, however after saying that they have probably come in on the nights because they have filled the tops of the hedgerows lately in great numbers, plus I have also had the added bonus of getting them back in my back garden after a noticeable couple of months absence.  I wonder whether these are my same spring "breeding birds" come back after moult or are they going to be fresh arrivals migrating! Unless I got one breeding with a white spot (leucistic) or something like that, I would never know really if it was the same bird returning....

He might be tempted to get them nets out again!

Best,

Bryan.
