Group ringing session at Marston 27 July 2013

On Saturday we were joined by Donna Staples and members of the Mid Lincs. Ringing Group for a session at Marston, in the reed beds.

It was supposed to be a ringing demonstration from 09.00 to 16.00 but unfortunately only a couple of people attended in spite of advertisements.

We set the nets from 07.30 with an anticipated start time of 9.00 and soon had a steady stream of birds arriving at the processing point. We ended the day with a total of 155 birds caught 130 new birds and 24 retraps and 1 control, (i.e. bird ringed elsewhere).

The day was a huge success however and everyone enjoyed the experience of ringing as a large group.
