Night time wader ringing 10th/11th September 2010

A window in the weather on Friday night with rain ceasing around 22.00hrs and the wind dropping to less than force 2 meant that an attempt at catching some waders was made. In the event, the overcast skies and gentle breeze resulted in a successful catch of 29 birds - 15 Turnstones, 12 Dunlin and two Ringed Plovers. A great, if rather late, night's work.
