A small group of us had two very early mornings mist netting around the Discovery Hut on Sunday 10th & Monday 11th May, and also ringing the first two broods of Sand Martins in the Sand Martin cliff. We were pleased to be joined on both days by Jimmy Irwin, a professional photographer who has just started a long term project centred on bird ringing activities. He will be working with various other ringers, but as the first, we were able to give him an introduction to the practice. So sit back & enjoy Jimmy's fabulous photos!
