Against my better judgement I was up at 5.45am this morning to accompany Patrick Barker and his friend Etienne on one of their early morning bird ringing sessions. I used to be a very active ringer but advancing years and two spine operations have seen me turn to photography. It was a good feeling to see a lovely dawn with mist and eventually sunshine.

We caught about 50 birds mostly Greenfinches but also Linnets, Chaffinches, Great Tits, Wrens, Blue Tits and Dunnocks. The best bird was a Treecreeper caught by a hedge some way from the nearest mature trees.
