CL, DKL and WA arrived on site for 6.30am for more work on the rides and a bit of ringing too. We put up three 12m singles and two 18m nets as a double. On checking the double on the first round it was clear that CL would have to leave the strimming for a bit and help to clear the catch.
We managed to reduce to two processing after 90 minutes or so and Chris commenced his ride maintenance while WA and myself extracted and processed birds. No photoes, but plenty of birds ringed. Still no ringed adults from last year or before. Looks like the groundwork has probably scuppered the RAS!
