Ringing

We only decided to go ringing last evening at the last moment, it turned out to be a good choice. I arrived at Badaan first and dropped the nets, when I returned to the first Brendan was there glowing like an expectant father , he had just taken a European Nightjar Caprimulgus europaeus out of the first net, closely followed by a Nightingale, a Garden and Reed Warbler. With less than a few weeks to the end of what we think of as the main migration period we were as you would expect delighted with our efforts - 7 birds, seven species. Additional photographs of the evenings efforts can be found by following the link in the side column.
