 A young female blackbird was the first thrush satellite tagged for the autumn. We got up at 6:00 to find it was still a little too dark, so had a quick coffee before we went to open the nets. It has been a steady day with robins being the main species recorded. Hans Erik was very happy with a blackbird in the net, which he attached a satellite tag to, once back at the station.
Hans Erik left around midday back to the mainland and I am now here on my own. I continued with the nets open till 17:00, which were promptly shut thanks to a thunderstorm rolling in. I was pleased to see a few garden warblers amongst the birds today. In total 50 birds were ringed (robin 24, garden warbler 2, blackcap 15, goldcrest 5, wren 1, coal tit 1). Regards, Meg
