22nd July 2017

All 30 nets opened at 0345 and closed at 1100 with 24 new birds of 12 species including 6 Svarthätta (Blackcap) one of the highest day captures for this species in July over the last 30 years.

Migration watching by Janne & Bosse (the sleepers!!!) in the south, though quiet, produced a movement of tärna (terns), a mix of waders and two Svarthakedopping (Horned Grebe) migrating SW.

The Gröngöling seen yesterday was still present through the morning.

There will be 4 at the Obs overnight: Chris, Kay, Janne & Bosse.
