Exciting news!!!! Our lovely has launched a new podcast all about ringing and nesting! Read more about it below and head to Amira’s profile to have a listen!

A podcast about the surprising stories and incredible journeys we’ve uncovered through bird ringing and nest recording, and about the amazing people behind some of that work. The aim of the podcast is to shine a light on some of the incredible bird monitoring work going on quietly and out of sight across the UK.

In each episode, we’ll meet an expert who has dedicated months or years of their life to a particular species or project that they’re extremely passionate about. In this first episode, we’ll be talking to Jimmi Hill, a raptor conservationist, ringer and nest finder, and founder of the charity Raptor Aid.

The podcast will be available to listen to on Spotify and Apple Music, but if you can’t access these and are still interested in listening then please don’t hesitate to contact me at [email protected].

and from our team headed out to do some lamping last night and had great success with catching 4 beautiful woodcock!

Lamping involves fining birds at night and works particularly well on waders! Our team use a thermal camera to spot the birds before gently netting them - they’re then transported back safely to be rung, and then moments later released where we found them!

snuck along after all the hard work was done to fit some rings and learn about some of the other measurements taken on waders, such as bill and tarsus length!

A massive thank you to who also came along and got some photos for us!

Welcome to 2026!

Our first session (at the gorgeous )of the year featured nuthatches, some wintering chiffchaff, robins, great t**s, tree creepers, blue t**s, coal t**s and long tailed t**s! A total of 78 individuals ringed including 5 retracts from our last session! What a cracking start to the year! 🎉

*Apologies for the silence over the last few months! Our team is growing but we’ve been focusing our efforts on getting out and ringing more birds! We will try to be more consistent this year!
