Everything is OK!

Yellow Wagtail ringing has continued this past few days.  Luckily the wind has not been too much of a problem. Of interest we are getting more adults in with this late flush of birds.

Darvic ringing continues

Last night the roost was about 60 birds and they came in just at the point of sundown after a few anxious moments as to whether we were going to catch any.

Megan processing her first 'alba' wagtail.  The pied/alba roost is about 30 strong at the moment but they are reluctant to mix with the Yellow Wagtails.  All the wagtails pre-roost on the tern island and then split as they head to the reeds.

The running total has not been worked out yet but we are hoping for a few more evenings before the birds have gone for another year.

Again the sunsets on the Fleet have been spellbinding.

With calling Common Sandpipers skimming over the water, returning  Geese and Swans coming into land and the wind in the reeds it is often very hard to leave this place!
