 Weather conditions today were much better so upon getting up, I quickly opened the nets. The first round brought lots of birds, including a flock of redpolls and a few siskins. So the nets were briefly shut to allow me time to catch up processing birds. When I finished the last of these birds, Terje arrived with his wife's cousin, bringing some supplies - most importantly Bamse Mums! Terje helped me reopen the nets and the rest of the day brought in steady numbers of birds.
The clear skies and sunny weather provided ideal conditions for raptor migration with a number of sparrowhawks recorded passing through and a rough-legged buzzard. A total of 85 birds were ringed (goldcrest 17, chiffchaff 1, treecreeper 5, robin 12, blackcap 7, reed bunting 2, meadow pipit 1, great tit 1, siskin 5, blue tit 9, blackbird 1, wren 7, lesser redpoll 17).
