Thalie Konstantinidis Out on the bog last night assisting Dr. James O’Neill @ucc.ie with bird ringing and tagging Red Grouse to support ongoing research on their site fidelity, habitat use, genetics and population health that could differ from Scottish birds #IrishRedGrouse #BirdRinging #FieldEcology #UCC #UplandEcology
@wendy-james.bsky.social New Teifi Ringing Group blog with news of our earliest Firecrests, the start of the lamping season and some movements including a Sedge Warbler from the Teifi Marshes to Spain #birdringing #birdingWales teifimarshbirds.blogspot.com/2026/10/fire...
Gary Woodburn Yellow-browed Warbler trapped and ringed at the Tin Church (Low Newton) this morning. A few other birds were dropping in here, mainly Chaffinches and Siskins but also 2 Redwings. A fair number of Chiffchaffs, Blackcaps, Robins and Song Thrushes still around the scrub too. #NEbirding #BirdRinging
Calf of Man Bird Observatory For the first time ever on the Calf... Two Great Spotted Woodpecker were caught in a season! Amazingly, they were both caught on the same day! It provided a nice comparison between female and male as well. This represents the 18th Calf record. #ukbirding #birdringing
Gary Woodburn No sign of the Subalpine Warbler at Newton Pool this morning. 1 Lesser Whitethroat, 2 Wheatears and a handful of Swallows and House Martins drifting south. Here's a couple more pics from yesterday. #NEbirding #BirdRinging
Mark Cutts Another vagrant from the east. This juvenile Little Bunting was a welcome visitor this morning to the #culverwell nets. #birdringing @portlandbirdobs.bsky.social
Gary Woodburn It's great when birding throws nice surprises your way, today was certainly one of those days. Uninspiring westerlies and then... Subalpine Warbler ! No dropped feathers but a poo sample recovered from the bag so🤞. Then in the evening... Cuckoo ! #NEbirding #BirdRinging
Calf of Man Bird Observatory Recent highlights: Black Redstart & 525 Meadow Pipit on 24th. 1st for the year: Great Spotted Woodpecker, Coal Tit, Ring Ouzel, Greenfinch and Grey Plover (44th Calf record!).

Trevor Codlin This Med Gull was ringed as an adult in Antwerp, Belgium on 21/06/2006 it was then seen on 29/06/2006 at Milford on Sea, Hants. On 06/11/2018 it was back at Milford & yesterday 27/09/2026 I saw it at Lee on Solent, Hants. An amazing 20yrs 3m 6 days (7403 days) since ringing. #ukbirding #birdringing
Kevin Thornton Been in Facebook, 1st time in ages. Tries to tempt me back w/ a memory of old #birdringing Funnel Trap out on the #Medway estuary tidal island of Oakham marsh, within the old Kingsnorth PS. Reverend, in his element, explaining why it wasn't a Heligoland Trap (an HT must have a dog-leg). Happy days.
Graham Deacon Salisbury Plain session this morning with 223 birds processed. Chiffchaff migration now in full effect with 116 caught inc 2 UK controls & 97 Blackcap inc an Arnheim Holland control. The only other warbler ringed was a tardy Grasshopper Warbler #birdringing #migration @wiltsbirdclub.bsky.social
Gary Woodburn A couple of nice migrants on the patch this morning, a peachy Wheatear at Newton Point followed by a stonking Hawfinch near the Tin Church ! #NEbirding #Lowcarbonbirding #BirdRinging
Calf of Man Bird Observatory This week we had our 1st autumn records of Skylark, Blue & Great Tit, and a Sparrowhawk ringed.

Dr LeaGrie More birds moving through Saskatoon this fall: Orange-crowned Warbler, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Northern House Wren, Black-capped Chickadee 🪶🇨🇦 All birds handled with proper training and permits #Birds #Saskatchewan #migration #BirdBanding #BirdRinging
@markh60.bsky.social Antikythira hosts the largest known breeding colony of Eleonora’s Falcons in Europe and one of the largest in the world. I probably would never have had the chance to see it were it not for the generosity of Trevor Squire. #birds #Antikythira #eleonorasfalcon #birdringing
@markh60.bsky.social One of my fondest memories of knowing Trevor Squire was when he invited me to join his ringing team on a trip to the Antikythira Bird Observatory. Great birds and great companymemories I’ll always treasure. #p1000 #birds #bto #birdringing
Richard Dann Another new species for the garden ringing list was had this week when this juvenile #Wheatear flew into my mist net. The species is seen in small numbers here on the clifftops on passage but has only once visited the garden before. Species #72 #BirdRinging #GowerBirds

Förderverein Naturschutz im Peenetal e.V. How do we know where #AquaticWarbler migrate? 🤔 Thanks to bird ringing, we know migration routes, stopover sites and where they spend the winter. Every observation #MigrationWatch helps to better protect Europe's rarest migratory songbird. #LIFE4AquaticWarbler #LIFEproject #BirdRinging
Graham Deacon A full on morning on Salisbury Plain saw us process 284 birds. You can kind of get fed up with Blackcap's when you catch 208 of them but we also managed 3 Stonechat, Redstart, 2 Grasshopper, 2 Reed, 10 Sedge, 1 Willow, 6 Whitethroat & 36 Chiffchaff #birdringing #migration @wiltsbirdclub.bsky.social
Gary Woodburn Info back from the Stavanger Ringing Scheme regarding the recent Red-backed Shrike at Low Newton.

It's the first ever recovery of a Norwegian ringed Red-backed Shrike in the UK ! #NEbirding #BirdRinging

Gary Woodburn This Red-backed Shrike was still at Low Newton yesterday + it's got a Norwegian ring on it ! I've managed to piece together the words STAVANGER and NORWAY from my photos but I can't get the letters/numbers unfortunately. #NEbirding #Lowcarbonbirding #BirdRinging

Calf of Man Bird Observatory Another windy week on the Calf! Wagtails and Pipits are starting to move, with the first White Wags seen. One of my favourite parts of autumn is Robin migration - small numbers of birds are starting to pass through. @manxheritage.bsky.social @manxwildlifetrust.bsky.social #ukbirding #birdringing
