Unusually for Broadwater several of our nets were wind affected today. Normally the tall trees keep the rides sheltered but this morning due to the wind direction there was more disturbance than usual. Fortunately the wind calmed as the morning drew on.
We had a team of five, CL, DKL, MRB, PD and Margaret, with nine nets up. Five hours later we had processed a total of 73 birds and our best total in a single session here this year.
It's good to be able to complete a full record sheet in one morning again!
