  2. Fantastic news, was going to pop up on Monday as I thought they would be there by then. Have recently been sorting out permission to ring there again. Will be interesting to see if we re-catch any of the 40+ we ringed there in the winter of 2010/11? Please keep your eyes peeld for any ringed birds if your going to see them.

    Happy birding
    Paul
