Andy has been working with Forestry Commission in the National Forest for some time now. This has included general conservation work but also bird ringing. Two of the fields at one site are superb in the winter for Snipe and related species, so it was time to organize a mist net session to catch and ring the visiting waders. I also posted the above image on Twitter; it has already received over 36,000 views! Thursday, 12 October 2017.

It was a very windy morning with a force 5 gusting 6-7. The wind dropped by the afternoon and a few sheltered nets were opened. Photos were sent to Martin Garner for confirmation. Both Martin and Adam Hut agreed that it was a Northern Treecreeper. A much quieter day with only 10 new birds. A yellow-browed warbler was trapped on the second round. Wednesday, 27 August 2014.

First Waxham visit of the spring brings Portuguese Control Willow Warbler. Earlier in the week the forecast had predicted the wind to swing round from the constant North-Easterly to have some southerly in it, alongside this a band of light rain was predicted.

Thursday, August 1, 2013. Group ringing session at Marston 27 July 2013. On Saturday we were joined by Donna Staples and members of the Mid Lincs. Ringing Group for a session at Marston, in the reed beds. It was supposed to be a ringing demonstration from 09. 00 but unfortunately only a couple of people attended in spite of advertisements. The day was a huge success however and everyone enjoyed the experience of ringing as a large group. Marston Sewage Works, L.
