News from the garden.

I suppose this is a little ironic.....the number of birds I have ringed in the garden is not exactly a big number...comparative to the number of birds I have ringed at the two orchards nearby....however...you never know which bird will be making an appearance in someone elses ringing net....the hoped for 'control'....so...here it is....
