21st October 2018

Nets opened at 0715 with some closed as the wind increased through the morning, with netting finishing at 1230.

The return of strong south-west winds had an immediate impact on birds, with very few on the island and just 20 new birds caught of 9 species.

Måns, Yonas and Einar spent the morning in the south but saw little evidence of any passage.

There will be five at the Obs overnight: Chris, Kay, Yonas, Einar and Lasse.
