Nets opened at 0400 and closed at 1145 with a wind that was moderate, occasionally strong from the south-west, backing to south.

A total of 16 new birds of 7 species, including the first House Sparrow (Gråsparv) since 2014.

We are trying a new method of displaying how the season is going. In addition to the daily totals we are showing the season totals (1st July to date) for each species caught together with two seasonal averages. The first is the average for the 28 year period 1988-2015 and the second is for the period 2016-2017 when standardised ringing was introduced.

There will be two at the Obs overnight: Chris & Kay.
