The mist produced some good results for 23rd despite heavy rain and dim lights. Total caught at #nguliaringing was 1,186 w Whitethroat yet again dominating at c.50% of catch. Highlight was 3rd Euro Red-rumped Swallow for Kenya caught randomly in swallow nets late a.m.! #birdringing #birds #TsavoWest

Night time ringing is a trademark of #nguliaringing - if the mist comes in early we can start at 11pm. Today nets were up for nightjars (15 of 3 spp ringed) at 01:30 w low cloud overhead which became mist at 04:50 & pulled in small #birds. 280 ringed by dawn. #birdringing #KWS #TsavoWest #ngulia

A reasonable night at #nguliaringing with just over 200 #birds ringed but good numbers of nightjars incl Dusky, Donaldson-Smiths, Plain and Euro. Quieter 1st round of nets... #ngulia #birdringing #KWS #tsavowest
