GREAT REED WARBLER:
We were catching great reed warblers in Västra Kanal and Nyangen. 1 Great Reed Warbler adult (male) breeding in Rysjon was caught in Nyangen and we deployed a logger in one new juvenile in Västra.
Curiously, we also caught one Thrush Nightingale juvenile in Nyangen. He was imitating a great reed warbler and made us to think that we had a male around, but not it was him!!! 😉 In Västra, we got the first Marsh Tit for our team!!!! It´s always nice to get new species!!!!
