A big thanks to Ian Scott Kev's brother and our wildlife Police officer on the island for introducing me to Les Kneale this week, Lez used to be a ringer back in the sixty's
he invited me down to ring some Swallow pulli in his garage.
We got talking and the next day he had arranged to take me around 14 farms to get a little Swallow project underway .
34 Swallow Pulli ringed and a a good number of nests still on eggs and more farms still to visit.
