Nets were opened at 4:15 , with no wind and a bit of clouds. Two woodcoks (rugde) flew overhead and the long-eared owl (hornugle) was actually singing not so far from the nets. It started very slowly in the first hour but then Geir and John started to spot some migratory birds such as reed bunting (sivspurv), some tree pipits, a swallow (låvesvale) and a bit later a goshawk probably female because it was biggish.
 
The wind was picking up through the morning and we decided it was time to close nets. Around 2pm however, John heard a pied flycatcher by Plassen net and he decided to give it a go. Lucky he did because we got the bird, a male! One hour later we closed again and later on, it actually snowed on the island. We can say that we lived the fourth season on one day.
