This is part of Barnsley Ringing Group taken on the Isle of May in October 1985. You may remember some (younger) faces? Bottom left to right - Martin Wells, Dave Southall, Steve Davies and Keith Robertson. Upper left me and right Roy Birch. Actually Roy and Keith were not ringers but good naturalists. We were expecting a great migration but caught very few due to a hot, high pressure week. There were House Mice in the building and on one day we worked through each room and ended up killing 42 which livened the week up. Best bird species caught were Shag (several), Common Sandpiper, Sparrowhawk, Blackcap, Chiffchaff and Brambling.

Wow. Stunning young men.
Interesting to see Steve Davies, he kindly obtained a few antiquarian entomology books for me around that time.
