There was very much a feeling that autumn is here as we set up the nets. The wind was low enough for netting, but there was a real chill to it as the wind strengthen towards the later part of the morning and circa 35 Pink-footed Geese heading along the coast confirmed the autumnal feel.
We got two full length doubles up, with an additional 18m and two 12m 2 panels over the stream. It turned into a morning of applying darvic rings with 9 Reed Buntings and 5 Stonechats marked for their respective schemes from the 34 captures.
