More from Dave and the first team.

Full party of five - 2A's, 1C, 1T and an experienced helper (Dave, Stefan, Ken, Stu and Chris). First night very wet, second windy and the third very midgy (be warned, get the Deet out). In addition to the Stormies already reported they also ringed: 14 Skua, 6GBBG, 2 Black Guillemot, one adult Fulmar new, plus one retrap, 13 Shag, 3 Mipits, 4 Swallow pulli and one each of Wheatear and Wren.

First group initial feedback

First night - on the slabs - 250 birds plus 60 control /retraps with UK rings. Second night around the camp site 120 new plus 10 controls /retraps and last night 160 new with 100 UK ringed controls /retraps. A tidy 530 new with 170 retraps. More details to follow.
These details updated to 582 new with 201 retraps (non foreign).

Visits planned to date: Dave (party of four) 13-16July; Stefan (party of three) 18-21/22July; Ken (party of eight) 22-26July; Stuart (numbers to be finalised) 27-31July. Dave, I'm presuming, is on so should hear shortly about whether all our kit has survived the winter! Stefan should be gearing up, and Ken's party (I'm one) is all about ready, with last minute phone calls confirming travel, kit and food. I just hope this wet weather we have had of late is now drying up.
