GEDSER - August ringing totals

Everyone loves a good list.....so here's our August ringing totals.   A total of 2,257 birds were caught here at the station last month; a decent total helped by a little run of days with over 100 birds; it was more than the same period in 2015 (1,526 birds) but a bit less than in 2014 (2,498).
