Ringing

A short burst of energy is the best way to describe our efforts this afternoon at Badaan. With it getting dark so early we barely have an hour and a half of daylight left after work to catch anything. Never the less we managed a total of eight birds nearly nine if we count the Egyptian Nightjar we just missed using a hand net and stong light after dark. Pied Isabelline and Desert Wheatear Water and Red throated Pipit, Crested Lark and two Quail were the species ringed this afternoon.
I only took a few pictures as I forgot my flash unit.
