Out again with Kev yesterday , a slow morning but good laugh with 4 more Redpoll ringed and a few more Goldcrest. More Goldcrest went through the net than in it when you think they weigh around 4>5 Grammes its not surprising. We packed up and said we would meet up at Smeale in the evening .
All the conditions were spot on for a bit of wader netting we set two 60FT two shelve nets in a lagoon left by the spring high tides. All full of seaweed and flies and food, not a bit of wind either the nets just hung dead straight. Not many evenings in October when you can say that up at Smeale.
After 3 hours we got 1 Redshank, better than none. Not a wader about we even walked up and down the shore line to try and dazzle and didn't see a thing.
Today i was up at another plantation looking for a good spot to put nets up for redpoll.
