6th October 2018

The overnight rain that was forecast to clear before dawn only stopped at 0915 so netting restricted from 0915 until 1315 with 35 new birds of 13 species caught. A late Garden Warbler (Trädgårdssångare) was the only bird of note.

The photography course is running this weekend and there is good signs of participants out and about on the island looking for good bird ‘models’ as well as landscape shots. Looking forward to seeing them all up at the Obs tomorrow.

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