We took the chance to catch a few birds before the rain, forecast to start at around noon. From just two doubles and a couple of singles we managed over 40 birds in about 4 hours. A high proportion were recaptures with six Redwing and a young male Sparrowhawk among the new birds ringed.
Age 3 Redwing

The drizzle actually began to fall before midday but we were already packed up and off site by 11.50am.
