First Session of the Year - Ty'n y Caeau 3/2/2015

The Kenfig Ringing Group at last had its first session of the year on its own turf. A few members had already managed to ring a number of birds at the Parc Cwm Darren open day on the 24th January.
Cedwyn, Heather, and Chris met at Ty'n y Caeau at first light, though for some it was lighter than others.
A very cold but sunny and windless morning seemed to bode well, though the fact the feeders had not been filled recently dampened our spirits somewhat. Illness was the culprit regarding the restocking issue so it obviously couldn't be helped.
