Morning was windier than expected, so we decided to switch to Vallen. Still, not so many birds fall into the nets. The surprises of the day were the two pipits that we got; a juvenile meadow pipit and an adult of tree pipit.

Some showers poured over our heads, but still we decided to head to Banvallen with hope. We got a really slow and wet morning, thought, with almost no birds. Nets were taken down at 10:30 due to stronger rain. 10 new birds were ringed and 5 more recapture.

The day started with a flock of 30 Robins presumably in migration and continued with a steady flow of birds into the nets, including white wagtails, a dunnock and a good number of Goldcrests and willow warblers. Total of 124 bird caught, which is the record of this season, with only 5 recaptures.

12 nets were set up in a windy day at Banvallen, with the sky threatening with a storm the whole morning. Really slow day: Only 23 birds; 20 of them news and three recaptures. However, the flock of long tailed tits is always something worth to see from close! It pay off for the early wake up.
