9th - 10th July

A Grey Plover was new at Westness on 9th before our first petrel ringing session of the year proved to be a success with 12 Storm Petrels and a Leach's Petrel trapped overnight.   The following morning's netting at Holland House also produced some good birds with two Crossbills and a Marsh Warbler caught in amongst the fledgling Blackbirds, House Sparrows and Wrens.
