14th September 2018

Continuing strong winds limited the number of nets that were opened from 0545 until 1100, with just 12 new birds of 9 species.

Niklas & Per were at SUDD by 0600 and remained until after 1500 having had an excellent days migration watching. Good reward for an excellent effort!!!

There will be 6 at the Obs overnight: Chris, Kay, Niklas, Per, Lasse and Liam.
