Last night staff and volunteers went out of a nocturnal survey. This started with ringing six Wheatears, two Mallards, a Common Sandpiper, two Oystercatcher chicks and a juvenile Ringed Plover before a short session on the South End for Manx Shearwaters saw a bird caught that was originally ringed in 1987!
Avian life was quiet with four Curlews and a Kestrel the best from census before more gull chicks were colour ringed at the North End.
