We opened
the nets at 4 again this morning, knowing the weather was not the best and that
it
might get worse. We managed to do two rounds and ring 2 birds then it
started raining and we
closed. There was very few activity in the bushes as
well.
After a
couple of hour, the weather seemed to improve a bit and we gave it a try again
at 9.45.
The highlight was that we caught a willow warbler from Holland. At
least, it was worth opening.
After a couple of hours with variable wind and
sometimes strong gusts, we decided to close for
good at 3pm and the rain came
not long after that. The total amount of birds ringed today are
9 willow
warblers, 1 blackcap, 1 linnet and 2 redpolls.
