As the wind had turned easterly we hoped a few nice birds would turn up and opened the nets. In the morning it was still foggy but by lunch time the sun had burned away the fog. We had a good ringing session but caught mostly already ringed birds.

Other bird highlights were 15 Barnacle Goose and 1  Goosander flying over the Obs and 1 Hen Harrier hunting on the Marsh on the southern side of Broadwater.
