We awoke at 5am to find it raining heavily so the ringing was postponed for a short while until we were confident that the bad weather had passed. By 6 the skies were clear and it was business as usual. The first net round was busy but after that it was just a few birds during each check.

As the forecast suggested it was pretty windy this morning – too windy for any of the standard ringing sites. Still, we got up at the usual time and headed to Oby Kulle, our ‘plan B’ for windy days. Unfortunately, the wind was in the wrong direction and came right through a small gap in the trees. Our usually nice and calm little ringing area was windy!

Weather; Bright, sunny and warm again becoming quite hot by late morning. It has been an unusually hot and dry summer – how long will it continue?
