Nice duck ringing session at Rye Meads, Herts. This young Pochard is a rare age class to be ringed in the UK; we don't know much about our breeding Pochard's movements. What we do know is that his mum was ringed as a duckling here thirteen years ago! #ringingunderlicence #UKbirding

A subtle intersex Teal from Draper hide at Rye Meads the last few days. Female type bill, mixed head pattern, male breast and coarse variegated barred flanks, yellow undertail without black surround.

Same here in east Herts. So far we have ringed over 630, our previous best was 411 (and that was last year). Nice to have a bird 'on the up' #Hertsbirds #UKbirding

Beautiful 'acredula' type Willow Warbler caught and ringed today at Rye Meads, Herts (birds lacking yellow can occur in any population but predominately in the north and east). #ukbirding #hertsbirds

Interesting Pintail x aythya (or netta?) at Slimbridge today. He was in with the Chiloe Wigeon #birdhybrids #Ukbirding
