A Small Purple Patch at Kenfig 18/4/14

With ringing sessions at Kenfig having been fairly limited by wind and weather, it was pleasant to put some nests up around the reserve centre. We were hoping to catch some of the migrants starting to arrive at the reserve. Dave was joined by Alex and Chris to set out the usual 4x18m nets around the centre. Care was needed on the path to two of them, to avoid an Early Purple Orchid right in the middle of the access route.

The morning turned up a few of the expected migrants but in small numbers as the session had to be cut short due to the increasing wind.
