The wind
was strong at 4am and I hesitated about opening the nets. In the end, I decided
to open only the 4 ones by the house, and I think it was the right decision. I
had a couple of small showers in the early morning as well as a more heavy hail.
At 8am, the wind got even stronger and I decided to close. I opened more nets
when the wind dropped and kept them open through all afternoon but there were
few birds around. Today, 1 blackbird, 6 willow warblers, 2 redstarts, 1
redpoll,
1 robin, 2 blackcaps, 1 garden warbler and 1 whitethroat were ringed.
I’ve kept
myself busy by watching the sea in the morning and spotted a white tail eagle
far away.
