Hello everyone!
Today was not too intense but a good day on the whole, with our usual visitors these last days: redpolls and bullfinches in the nets and all around the island. The fieldfares were also still around, though in lesser quantity than the previous days.
The morning brought a nice surprise in the nets: Waxwings again! A small flock of these fascinating birds has been on the island these last days, and 4 of them came down in one of our nets today.
The rest of the day went by more quietly, a rough-legged buzzard flew by in the wind, and the activity of birds decreased as usual during the afternoon.
This evening will be dedicated to trying to catch a Tengmalm’s Owl again, fingers crossed!
