Staff: DWE, MLA, LST, LAR, TMJ
Weather: Very warm and sunny. Seems like summer.
Projects: Marsh Harrier, Great Reed Warbler, Starling nestboxes, Crane Counting.
Today, the morning was taken up by DWE looking for Marsh Harrier nests in Rysjon, MLA searching for GRW’s in Nyangen and Rysjon and LST doing the same in Fagelsjon, with LAR and TMJ trying to catch individuals in Aslasjon.
MLA found 2 singing males, whilst LAR and TMJ caught one bird ringed as a nestling in Segersjo a few years ago and saw a few others.
DWE found 1 new harrier nest with a female carrying nest material to a site that was suspected by the GRW team a few days previously.
In the afternoon, DWE, MLA and LST checked Starling boxes for late nesters but found none so far with 25 to check in Sorosletten tomorrow.
In the evening, DWE and MLA assisted in the Crane Counting over Hammarmaden.
