End of the week!

A nice steady week which didn't go totally to plan - mainly because of Christmas shopping and minding kids! But I did manage to get out for a few days and ended the week with 73 new birds, 7 recaps and 3 controls.

Totals
Coot - 11 new + 3 retraps
Mute Swan - 24 new + 1 control
Tufted Duck - 3 new + 1 control
Mallard - 3 new + 1 recap
Black Headed Gull - 4 new + 1 control
Dunnock - 3 new + 2 recaps
Goldfinch - 17 new + 1 recap
Greenfinch - 2 new
