Nets opened at 0400 in moderate winds, which increased through the morning, resulting in nets being progressively closed until ringing stopped at 1100. Started overcast with thunder storms either side of the island, but only a few drops of rain on the site. Cleared mid-morning to give sunny, humid, conditions.
A total of 26 new birds of 9 species.
Usual pre-weekend cleaning this afternoon.
There will be 6 at the Obs overnight: Chris, Kay, Jane, Karen, Katie & Carol.
