Above are some of the great pictures taken at yesterday's fantastic ringing demonstration. The event was a great success and we caught 83 birds, two greater spotted woodpecker, a treecreeper, gold and green finches, a variety of tits, blackbirds, dunnocks and robins. All of the birds caught have been added to the information that the BTO have on many bird species, this will continue to help us monitor bird populations and movements. One of the great tits that we caught was previosly rung and is now three years old and a few of the birds had been rung at another site on the east of loch leven. There has also been loads of activities on for the kids today and they have proved very popular, with all of them enjoying quiz's, a nature trail and much more. On the reserve today there are plenty of teal, wigeon, tufted ducks and quite a large flock of whooper swans on the loch shore and the back of the reserve. Further out on the loch there is a high number of great crested grebes and small flocks of gooseander all feeding on the high fish populations in the loch. Later on in the day a group of six roe deer were feeding on the reserve, what a great way to end an AMAZING day. The renovation of the cafe is going well and the new disabled toilet is well underway! That's all for this week, check the blog next weekend for the latest up dates.
