A swallow roost ringing session had been planned at Oxwich Marsh NNR and so at 18:30 I met up with Owain and Keith to be joined later by, Darren, Phil, Wayne and Heather.
An additional set of three nets caught, Reed, Sedge warblers and Whitethroat so was set to add variety to the main event of 85 Swallows with a good smattering of adult birds, and four Sand Martins as well as a Common Pipistrelle bat which was released unharmed.
