Tuesday 9th Sept 2014
We were up and off to the ringing site by 4:50 and it took us only around 40 minutes to get all the nets up. The moon was bright and lit up all the low lying mist and it was very atmospheric to walk the first net rounds.
We caught birds steadily all morning and ended up with well over a hundred, the highlight being a very young Penduline Tit.
The weather started off bright but looked ominous by lunchtime and so we caught up on our chores whilst it rained heavily outside feeling fortunate that our ringing was able to take place in calm conditions.
