A quiet day on the island

We opened the nets at the same hour than yesterday; the island was even quieter than yesterday. Only two Woodcock (rugde) were calling above our heads. We start the day with some Willow warblers (Løvsanger) and some Goldcrests (Fuglekonge). We only had females goldcrests since the start of the week, do the males push their partner in the nets ?! This morning we also catch a Siskin (Grønnsisik), the first of the week !
The afternoon was also quiet but with some surprises ! We caught a flaggspett, who really like the net, because we had it an hour later back in it. Marie saw a Merlin (dverfalk) flying over the island. And we also caught 2 Lesser Redpolls (grønnsisik), one of them was a gorgeous male.
