All nets opened at 0415 in a strong SE wind that decreased and went S during the morning. All nets closed at 1030 with a light shower preceding forecast heavier rain – yet to arrive!!!!
Another quiet morning with just 12 new birds of 6 species with only five warblers caught, though a Härmsångare (Icterine Warbler) was pleasing to catch.
A guiding is planned for 1130.
There will be just 2 at the Obs overnight: Chris & Kay.
