Out today with Craigster & Cia up at Lake Windermere catching gulls/wildfowl in front of hundreds of tourists! Fantastic day for promoting bird ringing, it was nice to get away from the ringing for a short while & talk to people from countries all over the world! People from Japan, Canada, South Africa & Australia - came over for a chat & a closer look at the birds!
