Due to very strong winds opening of nets was delayed until 0500 when 7 nets were opened and closed at 1145.
Nearly 7 hours for 7 birds of 7 species in 7 nets !!!!
Fortunately for Bosse one of them was a Grönsångare (Wood Warbler), adding to his species list for the year.
Bosse & Svante spent a very rewarding morning at Vaderbunken, with some of the highlights from an excellent period of migration watching shown below.
Svante left the island in mid-morning to give five at the Obs overnight: Chris, Kay, Bosse, Lena and Oscar.
