The morning was relatively nice but by lunch time the rain was pouring down. I was glad I had done my census before the rain started and I spent the rest of the day entering ringing data.

The best birds today are: 1 Glossy Ibis and 2 Shore Lark.

We didn’t run a moth trap as the wind would have blown the traps off the tables. We will run one again in time for the moth morning on Wednesday.
