CES 7 - Kenfig 16/7/2015 - Well Almost
Cedwyn and Chris decided to risk doing session 7 even though the weather forecast was for a little more wind than we would wish. When we set the nets it was windy but didn't seem too bad and the first round caught 6 birds. By 07:30 we decided that after taking a dozen birds out of the extra nets it was getting too windy.

It might be me but it has the countenance of a headmaster giving us the stare that says "you should know better than to be ringing in this wind" so we packed up and went home.

Same up here. With the prospect of a week away at the Royal Welsh and RSPB Conwy celebrations I chanced the weather. Started off perfect by 7;30 wind had picked up and everything was being blown off the ringing table by the gusts, so was packing up by them. 19 birds in total and for the second visit 3J Whitethroats, a novelty on my site.
