What kind of equipment are you waiting for? Are you not using the same company that you used the last time you had to up to the east ledge? ???

We are waiting for the lines/ropes - they are a special order from the US and it was thought they would arrive last week but well, that's why it's called Murphy's Law. Mostly we can over-engineer our plans just in case Murphy decides to participate, but sometimes it's just not enough. In thirty years, we've only had 4 other chicks we couldn't band - all were because we couldn't access the nests safely. We did band chicks from each of these nests however when they were grounded after fledging so though I would prefer the Radisson chicks fledge without incident, if they do go down and are re-releaseable (not a guarantee) then we'll band them then.

Correct me if I'm wrong please, was a swing stage, like the one used in 2009 not considered? I know that it is expensive, but I'm sure that donations would have flooded it if that were the case
