No students this morning to join us. Instead Jakob , a regular visitor here and involved in the Great Reed Warbler project, will spent the week with us at the station. Today was a very slow day. We catched 42 birds at the Ässon site. A Song Thrush and a Blackbird are noticeable along with some Goldcrests and Nuthatches. We hope for more birds tomorrow.

We were up and off to the ringing site by 4:50 and it took us only around 40 minutes to get all the nets up. The moon was bright and lit up all the low lying mist and it was very atmospheric to walk the first net rounds.
We caught birds steadily all morning and ended up with well over a hundred, the highlight being a very young Penduline Tit.

More cloud cover this morning and a bit of dampness in the air, but not enough to curtail our ringing activities.
The morning started of with a few Swallows we managed to catch coming out of their roost in the reeds. Proceedings went very quiet for a while and we only caught a few birds on the next net rounds.
