Very strong winds overnight delayed opening of nets until 0600, with just 10 opened to start with but more opened as the wind eased through the morning and moved to the SW. All nets closed at 1100.
A total of 39 new birds of 9 species was an improvement on recent days.
There will be four, possibly five at the Obs tonight: Chris, Kay, Sorcha, Bosse and maybe Janne but as usual he is keeping us guessing!!!!
