Staff: LAR, MBR, FGA, LST, MLA, AJA, KLE
Weather: Sunny spells and windy
Projects: Standardised Ringing
It was far too windy for the ringing team to be able to visit Banvallen this morning, instead a relaxing morning was enjoyed by all.
Before lunch, the canopy net was repaired in preparation for the start of ringing at Ässon. LST and FGA then visited Ässon to ensure everything was in place for the net pole’s installation. Unfortunately, the wind meant we could not safely set up the net and this will now have to be done tomorrow.
Meanwhile, MBR, MLA, AJA and KLE searched for waders around Kvismaren, as we hope to begin attempts to catch some. A suitable location was found at Hammar-bottom, with large numbers of sandpipers, plovers and Ruff. If the wind dies down we will give it a try tonight, fingers crossed!.
