Ringing at the reedbed.

Met up with Steve, Virgini, Craig and Chris this evening down at our local reedbed in Worsley (Grt Manchester). Today has been very hot and at around 5pm ish a ''tropical'' storm passed over. By 5:30pm the rain had stopped allowing us to put 5 nets up in very humid and sticky conditions!

However we were rewarded with a nice little total of 33 birds caught.
