JRD ringed the 3 chicks of a nest at Löten and tried to locate a nest in Västra fågeljön by following a male. This male was moving between two places, so it might have two nest.

Skylarks
JMY went out to Bärsta for some final observations of the crop fields, in the hope of finding some late nesting skylarks; but all was silent. It seems that the lark breeding season is over for this year. Survey plot marker sticks were also removed from the fields, in readiness for the harvest machines coming in the next week or so.
