I'm still not able to post a trip report per se, but I made a trip down to the Menai Bridge this evening to try and get some photos of it at night. This is something I have been wanting to do for a while. Tonight was the first night that I have been doing very little and the weather has been right, so off I went. I saw a surprising amount of birds considering it was dark: Grey Heron, 3 Oystercatcher, 5 Herring Gull, 4 Redwings (heard only) and a calling Tawny Owl on the walk back to the Ffriddoedd site halls.Whilst I'm on blogger, I feel I should post a couple of ringing recoveries that I have observed in the last month or so.
