Great Reed Warbler
MBR went to Rysjön to check for nest building, and then found a nest at Sörbyjön in the afternoon. TMJ and MLA went to Slottsviken to catch a male bird and put a new logger on him. They also searched for nests, finding none but many useful indications to use for another day. JRD and DHT went to Egeby and managed to put 2 new loggers on birds, one male and one female – a successful day.
Standardised Ringing
With heavy rain forecast in the early hours, ringing at Banvallen was abandoned for the morning and no ringing was done today.
Ortolan buntings and Skylarks
JMY and MPN watched for feeding Skylarks early in the morning but little could be observed. They then moved to Segesjön looking for an Ortolan Bunting but frustratingly could not find that either.
