I can't make out the code, but I think you mean 4A, which is a local gal. If it is A4, then she's from Yarmouth way.......

Cats. Up to 12.5 million in the UK. If they take just 6 birds per year, that's 75 million birds wiped out, equivalent to the human population of the UK. Nothing to add ๐Ÿคฌ๐Ÿคฌ

Out this evening with the usual suspects - we successfully ringed 2 Nightjar chicks while the female sat very calmly a short distance away keeping an eye on things.
Ringed under @btobirds.bsky.social licence - all data will help feed in their project to better understand these elusive birds.

1 of 2 in the brood. RV sexed as โ™€๏ธand has been reported twice in 4 years. RSPB Saltholme Oct 21 and your location in Oct 23, so she keeps a low profile. Brother loitered about the Norfolk Coast most of October 21

Three new Tawny Owl nest boxes put up in North Norfolk yesterday. Probably too late for this year, but in situ for future years ๐Ÿคž
