Nest recording and stuff

The Manx TT is now in full swing so some days we are limited to where we can get to and what we can do  because of road closers and accidents so the last few days have been spent up at the gravel pits and beaches up north out of the way. I was going to net up at the Jurby east site again but a swarm of bees has decided to make where i put my nets there new home,  they are going to be placed in a hive and moved so maybe next week. 
Lots of Gulls on eggs and a few hatching now same for Oystercatcher and Ringed Plover.



Oystercatcher chick

GBB Gull Chicks

Another 5 Herring Gulls were caught and colour ringed in the garden yesterday with a Jackdaw.
On Friday i set up at a new site in the scrub in the gravel pits thanks to Chris Wade for the permission to ring in there.
Whitethroat
6 Willow Warblers and 4 Whitethroat were ringed. The weather for the coming weeks looks bad all rain
Hopefully we will get a chance to do the Cormorant colony.
