Just four of us headed down to the site last night for some wader ringing and optimistic owl catching. As of now the owl recordings have not yet made their money back but there are still enough nights left strike gold. The wader ringing did not produce great numbers but there were a couple of different birds during the evening.
A Ringed Plover also came in to break the stream of Dunlin but towards the end of the evening a Jack Snipe was flushed into the nets.
The final score was 14 Dunlin, 1 Curlew Sand, 1 Jack Snipe, and 1 Ringed Plover. 14 Dunlin were retrapped.
