130 bags; bring on the birds.
They have been turned inside out and shaken to get rid of the feathers, sorted into saveable and beyond hope, washed and hung out to dry. Once clean we then set about identifying the requirements of each bag; did it need any sewing and or did it require re-stringing. When that was finished all that was needed was to make up any gaps in the sets, then put them together into bags of tens to be stored in the ringing hut waiting for the night when there is a lighthouse attraction and the bags are put into use to safely calm the birds that succumb to the light and drop to the ground on their migration.
Bag Lady signing off; I wish well to all who roost in them.

As we fans of the Lighthouse say "bring on the night, I couldn't stand another hour of delight"
