Staff: Bruno, Carlos, Helena and Annemarie.
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

CES-Ringing: We woke up without rain, but few minutes before to leave home started to rain. We waited for 1 hour because of the weather forecast but rain didn’t stop. So we decide to come back to bed and afterwards we spend the day doing office work.
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.
