This morning saw the 3rd Purple Sandpiper ringed in 2 days - spring trapped in South Haven. Bird of the day goes to an adult female Tufted Duck which was caught in North Haven. The appalling weather seemed perfect for a nights dazzling, so Phil and several Obs staff headed out north after dark to dazzle Gulls, only to return an hour later clutching 10 Greylag Geese! Quite a catch, which left the ringing room floor in a bit of a state!
