We are trying a new method of displaying how the season is going. In addition to the daily totals we are showing the season totals (1st July to date) for each species caught together with two seasonal averages. The first is the average for the 28 year period 1988-2015 and the second is for the period 2016-2017 when standardised ringing was introduced.
There will be two at the Obs overnight: Chris & Kay.
