22 nets opened at 0445 with some more opened for a while as the wind decreased and moved more to the north, with 23 nets operating when the session finished at 1100.
Yet another quiet day with just 17 new birds of 11 species. Included in these was a ‘winter-pling’ (Vinterhämpling/ Twite), only the 3rd spring capture for the Observatory.
More work being done on sorting work plans this afternoon.
Probable that Pelle will arrive this evening to give three at the Obs overnight.
