Today was CES 11, in other words, the eleventh of twelve ringing sessions using nets that have been in the exact same location for every session since a constant effort site was started at WWT Llanelli

Only 23 birds processed today but it was good to be able to look in detail at the moult stage of some of the birds.

This Chiffchaff sat and looked at us after being newly ringed and released.
