There is a need for someone to help with ringing young birds. The nearest person willing to help lives in Pembroke and it would be very helpful to have someone local. Full training in handling birds will be given. Please let me know if you are interested or ring Sian at the NT office. If anyone is out climbing and spots a chough the NT or CCW would love to find out where it is seen and what colour rings it might have. Eleven of the birds have already been ringed and if you can see the rings and identify them that would be very helpful information to have. The exact position of different colours on the birds leg and which leg is also important.
The other bird which arouses a lot of interest is the Peregrine Falcon and at this time there have been new sightings at Great Tor with the possibility of a nest on the south face. (that pile of vegetation and loose choss). Please let us know if you see any there. One other item of info is just to say that in the aftermath of the events at Minchin Hole a few years back there is still one route which has hangers still attached to the bolts left there. The NT have asked for these to be removed and I intend to do this soon. If anyone out there would like to claim them then I will be happy to return them. Please give me a call.
Just a reminder that my phone no is 01654767445 or mob 07967976170 or email Steve Lewis
