A much brisker westerly wind took hold today and thus we were only able to open a limited number of nets. 36 birds were ringed, including two Yellow-browed Warbler (Tajgasångare), the 3rd and 4th of the autumn. Birds seen migrating from the lighthouse this morning included a Bean Goose (Sädgås), a Merlin (Stenfalk), 14 Sparrowhawk (Sparvhök) and 17 Snow Bunting (Snösparv).
