Ringing updatesPosted by eyrg.co.uk Sun, October 30, 2016 19:22:00Having such an open ringing site at
Filey, we suffer from the wind blowing Jap and North Ronaldsay nets to one end
so we have started to restock with Ecotone nets which are tethered on two shelf
strings to prevent this. However these
are expensive.
I have bought some nets from
Merlin Ringing Supplies in the past which were made in China that I found
to be too heavy for our general passerine use and better as a thrush net
but absorbed water quickly.
Having heard Chris had a new
supply and him telling me the new nets are tethered on two shelf strings I
decided to buy three 12m (40’) and two
15m (50’) 70d mesh mist nets, which I aimed to use at Filey Bird Observatory.
Firstly I noted that the top and
middle shelf strings were doubled and were tethered – best way to identify the
top string as all the braided pole loops are black but well finished with metal
clips.
When set up there is plenty of
bag in each shelf and the 2ply 70dernier nylon mesh is soft and smooth and does
not cling to feathers or absorb moisture
On the first couple of uses I
trapped 50 birds ranging from Goldcrests to Blackbirds and had no problems
extracting any from the net. When
Greenfinch heads went through the mesh it seems easy to feed them back without
the net sticking to the feathers as a fraction larger mesh that other nets
(32mm). The nets had adequate bagging
and strong enough to hold Blackbirds and fine enough to trap Chiffchaffs and
Goldcrest.
Overall these are great value, very
similar to Ecotone nets but as fine as NR superfine. The only difference I found was the bottom
shelf was not finished off, with about an inch of loose net hanging below the
string but this had no effect on the catching ability of the net and the
cost!!!!!!!!

Ringing updatesPosted by eyrg.co.uk Tue, August 20, 2013 07:53:35Yorkshire Coast Ringing Week – East Yorkshire Ringing Group
This year the event will take
place from Saturday 19th October to
Saturday 26th October.
In co-operation with Filey Brigg
Ornithological Group Bird Observatory and Flamborough Bird Observatory, we hope
to have a number of sites operational on a dawn to dusk basis monitoring bird
migration, with the onus on ageing and sexing and any racial differentiation.
The main site at Filey will be
the top scrub on the Filey Country Park, with a second site (if birds and
staffing permits) at Parish Wood.
Flamborough have a number of sites that could be available during the
week and will be announced nearer the date.
Other sites may also be operated during the week when staffing is
available.
Come and take part in this annual
event and watch ringing demonstrations and see the displays of data collected. Visitors
are welcome to watch the ringing of the birds and there will be information
available on the BTO ringing scheme and survival and migration of local birds.
Visiting ringers (including
trainees) can also join in if they have their permits with them and there will
be a small donation towards groups’ activities.
The ‘Ringing Week’ had been run
