Varje år ringmärks flera tusen fåglar av Kvismare fågelstation. En liten andel av dessa fåglar hittas på andra platser i Sverige och världen. Vissa har kontrollerats av ringmärkare medan andra kan ha krockat med glasrutor eller fångats i jakt. Nu presenteras alla återfynd på en zoombar världskarta, som ger en bild av var Kvismarens fåglar tar vägen.
Kartan med Kvismare fågelstations återfynd finns på birdringing.bioatlas.se

The last week we had very good days ringing, compared with the previous ones. Average of 80 birds per day. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for today. The weather was so calm that we decided to trap some migrants in Ässön, but in the end, we had one of the poorest days with only 21 birds during the whole morning.
