9th May 2019

A breezier day today, which prevented the
more exposed nets being opened. 18 birds were ringed in addition to the first Starling
(Stare) recapture of the year. The first, tiny chicks of this species were
found in a nestbox at the north of the island.

There will be five at the obs
tonight: Matt, Espen and three new members.
