…glorious warm cloudless day.
I left the house at 0600hr for a 0630 meet at Wraysbury, it was just getting light and by the time I hit the M25 a brilliant red sun was in full view just above the horizon making the run to site very enjoyable, just a shame I couldn’t stop for a photograph! There was a slight ground mist when I arrived but this was soon burnt away.
A team of 9 turned out for this session, 3 trainers, an ‘C’ and 5 trainee’s.
The intention for this visit was not only to ring birds but also to prepare for this years CES with a new proposed layout of rides, the previous few years totals, the availability of ringers along with changing environment where taken into consideration. We ended up clearing the way for 3 new rides which took a good 5 hours of hard work.
The group processed about 25 birds throughout the morning with my contribution being one, a Bluti (Blue tit) I was involved mostly with the ride management!
We left site about 1330hr pleased with our morning work.
