RE: Reed Buntings



Neil,


We have ringed quite a few Reed buntings at Syke Farm near Hollingworth Lake over the years.

I've replied to Neil privately with the name of an Oldham ringer...

My parents in Shaw have at least 8 Reed Buntings visiting their garden this winter, including a metal ringed male.  Over the years there has often had one or two but this year has been amazing.  I ringed two a couple of weeks ago but didn't catch the metal ringed one which I wanted so I could find out where they come from since there's no real habitat near the site. 

Anyone know the nearest site where Reed Bunts are ringed, Pennington perhaps?

Neil

Reed Buntings are on the Red List. This means they have declined by more than 50% over the previous 25 years (ie prior to 2002)
