Nets opened at 0530 and closed at 1145 with a very pleasing total of 130 new birds of 16 species – very welcome after the recent few days of low numbers.
Although most birds were the expected range of autumn migrants a Videsparv (Rustic Bunting) caught in the last round of the day was by far the best bird caught, only the 14th ever caught here and the first since 2013.
A guiding was given to 25 people from 1130 until 1245.
Afternoon will be spent cleaning ready for weekend visitors.
There will be six at the Obs overnight: Chris, Kay, Bosse, Lena, Mats and Lasse.
