Standardised ringing

Strong rain again at early morning did not allowed ringing at Vallen. Tomorrow looks we will have better luck! (Crossed fingers). However, from 11 to 14 the complete ringing team had the chance to let free a bit of the energy pilled up during the inactivity days. A bit of summer make us company while strimming at vallen, armed with pruning scissor, machete and the strimmer.

Yet another rainy day meant that ringing at Vallen was cancelled early. The raining continued for more or less the whole day, hampering attempts of ringing at Ängfallet. Instead the afternoon was spent mending nets and double-checking data. The weather forecast keeps looking grim, but we are keeping our fingers crossed for tomorrow!
