Waders and Storm-petrels August 15th-19th

4 more efforts on catching waders and Storm-petrels during the last week has produced som nice results. On 3 night the main focus was on tape-luring Storm-petrels with mistnets, with a by-catch of waders taken with spotlight and dip-nets. Then a good wader catch with walk-in traps in the afternoon/evening on the 19th.
