Limited net opening due to continuing strong winds, but at least some open today!!
Just 20 new birds of 9 species continues the terrible run of captures this month.
Mikael & Alan headed to SUDD for the morning and had an excellent time with significant movements of passerines during, especially during the first four hours – a summary to follow later. At Bredmar it was obvious that a big movement was taking place – spectacular movement of birds!!!
SToF members who had a talk yesterday called up at 1000 to see some birds being ringed, having been at SUDD for the morning. A further guided talk given to a family of 16 from 1115 until 1230.
There will be three at the Obs overnight: Chris, Kay & Håkan.
