12 nets opened at 0430 in a strong W wind that gradually increased allowing 23 nets to be open by the time all nets were closed at 1100.
A better catch than in the recent few days with 19 new birds of 8 species including the first Gök (Common Cuckoo) of the year.
Afternoon will be spent reducing canopy height around some of the nets now that the breeding season has finished.
Lena left in the morning to give four at the Obs overnight:
Chris, Kay, Bosse & Janne.
