Alan Ball and Bob Sheppard ringed the chicks this morning. Each chick was fitted with a standard BTO metal ring but also with a lightweight plastic colour-ring (orange with two letters) so that each bird can be individually identified in the field. At the same time an extra 'L'-shaped piece of plywood was added to the far end of the nest tray to provide the chicks with some welcome shade..........and they made use of that shade later in the day.
You get a sense of how big these birds really are at 15 days old!
Watch carefully as the chick's try to catch flies! (It happens very quickly at about 12 seconds into the video.)
