Staff: Teresa, Carlos, Bruno, Helena, Daniel, Susan, Marianne, Antoine and Maja Tarka.
Weather: Another hot sunny day in Kvismaren. It seems Spain and not Sweden.
Great Reed Warbler project: A female, which was building its nest, was caught this morning by the GRW team.
CES: Ringing today took place at Vallen and Marianne joined our team to enjoy a new ringing session. We caught 88 birds of 14 species, which 25 of these were retraps. The most special for me was bearded tits because I had never ringed before this morning.

Thrush nightingale: 2 ringed, 1 retraps = 03
Garden Warbler: 2 retraps = 02
Common whitethroat: 5 retraps = 05
Sedge warbler: 17 ringed, 3 retraps = 20

Great reed warbler: 1 retraps = 01
Chiffchaff: 1 ringed = 01
Willow warbler: 4 ringed, 0 retraps = 04
Bearded tit: 5 ringed = 05

Today was the last day for Susan. Certainly, she is a very nice person and she will be a great future ringer. Bye bye Susan. Be careful with Haggis!!!
