Project: CES ringing at Ässon.
Staff: Bruno and Mike
Yesterday we went to Ässen but once there it started to rain. For the safety of the birds we decided not to ring and to go back to the birding station. So we had time to work on data, to do some house chores and bring in all of the canoes.
This morning we tried again in Ässon. There was some rain but this time we gave it a try. All by all a very slow day with low numbers.
Weather: Very cold, frost (0- 1ºC) at 6:00 a.m. but later sunny and no wind or fog.
