We arrived at the wader field on The Wirral at 8pm to find lots of birds already milling about. We set 2x 18mt nets complete with decoys and started catching straight away.
Dunlin were about in good numbers and we where rewarded with a bird carrying a Norwegian ring (Stavanger). The biggest surprise was a Greenshank - the 13th for the group.
Other waders moving about but not caught included Black Tailed Godwit and Oystercatcher.
Totals for the evening -
DUNLIN -10 (1)
REDSHANK - 3
GREENSHANK -1
