Rindle Road & Recent Recoveries.

The alarm was set for 7am this morning, but I did the fatal thing in turning back over for 5 more minutes! Which turned into 30 minutes & I was late for meeting Steve and Jenny at the Rindle Road feeding station. I arrived to find that Steve & Jenny had the nets up & were about to undertake the first net round.

I’ll keep this short as I’ve got some recoveries to post - Throughout the morning we captured 35 birds including 33 new & 2 recaps.
