January 14th - First Session of 2014

A Cold Morning at Kenfig  

After waiting for a couple weeks the weather at last lets us get out for the first ringing session of 2014 at Kenfig NNR. Ice was the order of the day with us having to break through it to get around to the usual ringing rides west of the pool. We set up three 18 metre nets in the CES ride and two 12 metre nets in the scrub  ride , west pool slack (WPS).
