Pitsea Catch 13/10

A very Successful ringing session with the NTGG yesterday with three catches processed a total of 569 birds!! including some 400 Herring (inc a belgium retrap!) and 66 GBB's with half a dozen Lesser's and 3 Yellow-legged Gull.

With many of the birds colour ringed, including many of today's black heads it be interesting to see how far they get too.
