Nets opened at 0615 and closed at 1300. For a change, it was possible to open most nets as the wind started off moderate, increasing thorugh the morning, with some nets closed late morning. Erik came up to join us early in the morning and spent the rest of the ringing session with us.
A good total, at last, with 173 new birds of 15 species.
Rasmus & Niklas spent the morning at SUDD before heading north in the afternoon. A summary of interesting sightings will follow later.
There will be five at the Obs overnight: Chris, Kay, Rasmus, Liam and Niklas.
