When I arrived at Sandwich Bay Bird Observatory at 5:pm on Friday,for a wader ringing session,I didn`t know what I was letting myself in for.I`ve been on numerous waders ringing session in other parts of Kent in the past,but then you usually met up by say 8:pm and was home in bed by 3:am.This however was a twelve hour shift,7:pm - 7:am.I`m not complaining though on the contrary,it was very enjoyable,although  I must admit rather tiring.

Birds ringed - Wood Sandpiper 1,Dunlin 2,Redshank 7,Common Sandpiper 7 and Ringed Plover 2.
