Too late for this year but I’d already thought of investigating that for 2025 😀😀😀 - though that will probably mean then I don’t catch any!
Have you heard of any sightings of YBWs that had been colour ringed this autumn?

I’m ringing about 5 mornings a week at the moment. Usual mid-October species also being caught: Chiffchaff, Blackcap, Goldcrest, Redwing, Blackbird. All have been caught when (or immediately after) the wind blows from E or SE.

Yes please, posts likely to be most frequent during the spring and autumn migration seasons or when there are swifts about in the summer 😀

Yes, using a sound lure. The most succesful seems to be YBW song however I’ve also tried a medley of Chiff, Goldcrest and YBW calls the Stanford Res RG are using
