Another day of excitement

We set nets to catch the bean geese on Saturday and spent Sunday waiting. A long wait and at nightfall the birds had failed to enter the catching area. At 7.40pm we set another net so that our chances of catching were increased.
At 9.15am this morning I received a call from Carl Mitchell that a catch had taken place and help was needed to process the 14 birds that had been caught. I arrived on site 15 mins later to find all the sitting quietly ready to be fitted with collars/gsm units. I will add a few pictures to the blog when time permits.
