Our first 5am alarm of the year, just CL and myself started the general ringing sessions for the year. It was a shaky start, with a padlock on the first gate, not encountered since early last summer that took us some time to locate the code. Three double 5 panel18m nets were put up and we actually managed to catch 20 birds. We were particularly pleased with eight retraps, including some Chiffchaffs ringed in 2024.
