Overnight rain delayed opening of nets until 0800 with strong winds limiting the number of nets that could be opened. Nets closed at 1145 with just 15 new birds of 4 species, continuing the awful totals for the middle part of the month!
Niklas and Lasse were down at SUDD from 0750 until 1200. Though much quieter than the last few days, the hours were still put in and produced some movement of birds past the island – see below.
There will be four at the Obs overnight: Chris, Kay, Niklas & Håkan.
