A team of 10 ringers carried out a catch on the pools at Harty on the night of the 2nd/3rd December. Conditions were reasonable with cloud to mask the moon, almost no breeze and temperatures around 5°C.
The catch of 68 birds included:
- Dunlin - 56 mainly adults with 4 retraps including birds from September and November 2009.
- Bar-tailed Godwit - 3 (all adults)
- Redshank - 2
- Grey Plover - 1
- Knot - 1
- Little Stint - 1 adult
A good catch in fair conditions.
