Nets opened at 0530 and closed at 1100 with 34 new birds of 12 species.
Alan, Mikael and Mattias all headed to SUDD by 0550 and had a very good mornings migration watching, the highlights of which are shown below.
Alan left on the 1330 ferry with Mikael & Mattias leaving later, having had a very quiet afternoon for birds around the island, which has emptied of most birds.
Rubbish for the garbage boat sorted and taken off site. Many thanks to Lennart who took it all from the Obs up to Norrhamn
Kays daughter arrives later for a few days of quality family time so there will be three at the Obs overnight; Chris, Kay & Sorcha.
