Landsort diary 20th August 2016

All nets opened at 0415 in calm conditions, with occasional light mist drifting over the site before becoming more generally misty for a while. Non-standard nets closed at 1015 and Standard at 1215.
 
A total of 55 new birds of 15 species, which would have included Icterine Warbler if the ringer had remembered to put a ring on the bird before releasing it!!!! Not saying who it was but it was not Kay!
 
A good mornings ringing with some nice species.
 
As the guided talk season comes towards the end it was great to get 18 people attending today, from three different groups.
 
Just Chris & Kay at the Obs today, giving a further clue about the identity of the careless ringer!
