Fog..........

Fog is not conducive to good ringing conditions, and this morning the fog proved to be particularly wet!!

Still it was worth the effort of trying the new net set in the reed bed as the only bird caught happened to be a Sedge Warbler, the first of the year and the first of many I hope.

When the sun did break through the morning was warm and some of the dune plants are starting to flower, including this Wild Pansy, Viola ticilor , a stunning little plant the Dune Pansy a sub species of the Wild Pansy also occurs but is yellow in colour.
