Staff: MMJ, SSL
Weather: some showers pouring and stopping
Projects: Ringing
Standardised ringing
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.
Wren (Troglodytes troglodytes) 2
Robin (Erithaculos rubecula) 2(1)
Willow warbler (Phylloscopus trochilus) 1
Siskin (Spinus spinus) 1
Reed warbler (Acrocephalus scirpaceus) 1
Blue tit (Cyanistes caruleus) 1(1)
Great tit (Parus major) 2(2)
Songthrust (Turdus philomelos) 0(1)
TOTAL: 15
Observations
Despite the slow morning of ringing we got some nice observation from the top of the tower at Rysjön:
Little Grebe, Horned Grebe, Peregrine Falcon, Whooper Swan, Smew, Black-throated Loon and at leats 3 White-tailed Eagles
