First redpolls this season

This morning was sunny as usual. It is already the 8th day in a row that there was a nearly cloudless sky and the sun shining all day long! Also the number of birds we are catching seems to be increasing day by day now. We caught 13 birds in total of 8 different Species. One of the dunnocks we ringed stood out because it had the most fat we have seen so far with a score of 4/9. Today a new species arrived in our nets: The Redpoll! We ringed 4 of them, including a beautiful adult male.

The observers saw their first highlight, a black-throated diver which was the earliest sighting since 2012.

Another news, he carpenter finally arrived to fix the doors. Hopefully the functionality of the doors will last for some time.

In the next days there is more wind to come and we might not be able to open all nets.
