A very quiet morning at Vallen, most likely because it was very windy though breeding birds appear to be moving off without birds from further north appearing to have reached us yet. A meagre 44 new birds of 8 species were ringed, which doesn’t sound too bad but is around a quarter of our best day at the site.

Another slow and quiet morning in Ässön due to wind with a total of 39 new captures, until we trapped the first Black Woodpecker for the season!!!!! And the 7th record for the Kvismaren!!!!. What an amazing surprise!!! It was a life for all of us and totally unexpected for today as it was quite windy. Now, we are looking forward to trapping the Lesser Woodpecker as it is the common one and the only one missing by now ;)
