Trapped

After my feeble singular Storm Petrel earlier in the week, last night presented its self as good conditions for another attempt. Fortunately Dr Marshall was also of the same thinking and decided to erect his 'stormie' net at the shore just down from the house. Started the iPod just after 11pm and it was only 10 minutes later that we had our first bird. We then set about catching 1 bird every 15 minutes, with the exception of 4 in the net all at once. We packed away at 1am with a grand total of 10 Storm Petrel processed, which i thought was OK. Hopefully if the conditions are favourable over the weekend we may give it another shot up at Skaw, fingers crossed.
