Levington Lagoon

We had another wader ringing session last night; the lagoon was an eerie place, no moon, consequently it was very dark, and it was not long into the night before the fog rolled up the estuary.  Calling waders in such circumstances needs to be witnessed to appreciate  how wonderful our estuaries can become after dark.

We colour ringed another four Redshanks.  Due to the darkness 8 Lapwings were caught, it is unusual to catch this amount; Grey Plover and Dunlin were also added to the nights tally.

Observations included c20 Snipe.

Driving home in dense fog, in the early hours of morning, was was a bit of a nightmare.
