Successful catch: two more geolocators removed
Date: 18/09/2016
At last we have been able to catch two Greenshanks with geolocators. They were among a flock of 15, with 6 other retraps. One of the two had already had one geolocator replaced, so it will be interesting to see if the two datasets are comparable. The catch took place on the western Deeps, Thorney Island.
Also in the catch were 25 Redshanks, 9 Dunlin and two juvenile Knot. The last were very unexpected, but provided interesting experience for team members.
