Nets opened at 0630 but restricted to 15 due to the continuing strong NW wind. Nets closed at 1200 with 96 new birds of 14 species/ sub-species.

Plenty of birds passing over the island. Niklas, who arrived this morning is in the north this afternoon. Summary of the highlights of the migration count done in the north by Niklas between 1200 & 1600hrs is shown below.

A Sädgås (Bean Goose) of the race ‘rossicus‘ was present on the football pitch all morning. A very tired bird that only flew short distances when flushed.

Afternoon will be spent emptying more nest boxes
