Sound of silence

​ 

​ 
Today was windy at 4 in the morning and some nets could not be opened. It didn’t seem to be a great loss though because it was really quiet. A woodcock called again during opening. Later on during the morning, the wind dropped and after 1 song trush had finished singing, the island went almost completely silent for some hours in the afternoon. It made it easy to detect a greater spotted woodpecker which called a couple of times during a few rounds. From time to time we got one chiffchaff in the nets bringing the number of chiffchaffs ringed to 7 during the day. Now, the wind has completely dropped again and even though it is much colder than the beginning of the week, the late afternoon weather was really enjoyable to stay out and enjoy the view.
