As part of the Autumn Festival hosted by St Andrews Botanic Gardens I helped with a ringing demonstration, run by the Tay Ringers Group. We talked to the children and their parents about which birds we had caught, how we could age and sex them, and why bird ringing is important. From a personal note I enjoyed the day even more as we caught a few of the blue tits I had rung in the nest earlier in the year. I felt like a proud mother.
