The weather
was nice again this morning at 4, with almost no wind again and a bit more
clouds than yesterday. However, it felt like there were less birds around and
the first rounds
were indeed more quiet.
We kept the
nets open until the evening and caught 101 new birds.
In the end,
it was an interesting day with a good diversity ( 12 species). A woodcock was
caught in the middle of the day, we have had our first tree pipit in the nets
today and we
also got a willow warbler wearing a belgian ring which is always
exciting.
From the
beginning of the season we have now reached 740 ringed birds. To sum up a
