Hi Bryan, Have you woke up in another country!

20-30+wind, gusting even more up here made netting really difficult.

Had not noticed any Greenfinch till i put lure on and they decended from nowhere, ended up with several parties coming in from high up, 60+prob more.( caught 25, would have had lots more if calm). Obviously missing them, prob due to wind noise.

Mipits slow but still coming all morning.

Craig.
