Wraysbury GP ringing session - 26 July 2011

An out of CES ringing session at Wraysbury specifically targeting migrants saw five of us turn up. Nets were set on the south side of the site around various known hot spots for feeding flocks concentrating on clumps of bramble. Three pairs of 60 ft and two single 40ft nets were set up which caught well giving us a fairly active morning with 200 birds caught.
