The day started early with 3 nightjars. We tried playback to catch one nightjar but were very surprised to get 3 of them!

Then we had a good morning with many species (total of 16 species today) even if there were less birds than yesterday. We were very happy to catch a wood warbler as it was our very first ringing of the species. The treecreeper was also new for Yannig ! 
The afternoon was very quiet... At 3PM we caught a tree pipit and a redstart that let us expecting more birds, but there were the last of the day !

We get the visit of Per Espen with two ladies preparing a visit of a larger group of artists on the station. You will probably learn more about it in september ;)
We also get a touristic visit the afternoon, but without boat in the harbour, they were probably expecting nobody on the island so we scared them a little bit ! ​
