We had a wonderful day in Banvallen! Nobody was expecting such a nice day at this time of the year! While Sedge Warblers, Reed Warblers, Whitethroats and Garden Warblers are decreasing in numbers, other species like Siskins, Dunnocks and Wrens are getting more common. We were very lucky catching a good number of Siskins, which usually fly to high for the nets. On the other hand, we had also some interesting ringings of Grasshopper Warbler, Savi´s Warbler and Brambling.
