25th September 2018

A very familiar story, with strong winds, this time from the NW, bringing a noticeable drop in temperature and once more limiting the number of nets that could be opened.

After the excitement of yesterday, it was back to normal today, with nets open from 0600 until 1200 with 69 new birds of 14 species caught.

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

Nets opened at 0600, again limited due to wind strength, but had to be closed early due to Chris injuring his knee.

A total of 40 new birds of 7 species.

While Chris & Kay went to Nynäshamn to get treatment for the injury, Håkan and Jan very kindly stepped in to take a guided talk for 29 students and three staff for a school visit. Many thanks to them for taking this task on and glad to learn that Jan has become a member – hopefully we will see him again soon. Thanks also to Tore, Lennart, Jan and Håkan who helped get Chris to the pilot boat.

There were two at the Obs this night: Chris & Kay.
