I spent the Easter weekend at The Wash with the Wash Wader Ringing Group. Despite our very best efforts in setting the nets at three different locations on three different tides, the birds didn't want to play ball and we didn't manage to take a catch. Lots of other things were done though including colour ring re-sighting, data checking, kit maintenance and enjoying great company. We even managed a recovery when I found a dead sanderling on Heacham Beach with a ring on it. It had been ringed in October on Snettisham Beach so it hadn't moved very far!
