Weather: Rain, rain and more rain.
We woke up at 3:45 and it was raining, we tried again at 5:00 and at 6:00 but the it continued raining. Finally the rain stopped at 7:00, to late to try ringing at Banvallen, so we decided set 6 nets around the observatory. We captured:
2 Blue tit
8 Robin
2 Marsh tit
11 Great tit
We hope tomorrow the weather will be better.
Until tomorrow
