Sparrowhawks

The Newton, Backhouse and Wright ringing group have now ringed 24 chicks this year in mid-Suffolk.  This is thanks to Reg Woodard for finding the nests and for keeping landowners informed and to Paul who has ringed most of them this year.   This is the second year in succession where breeding success has not been good, possibly meaning that this area of countryside is at carrying capacity for this species.
