25th May 2016
Staff: DWE, MLA, LST, LAR, MBR, DHT, MPN
Weather: Cloudy and windy day with some showers
Projects: Great Reed Warbler, Ortolan Bunting, Savi’s Warbler
Early morning, before the predicted rained arrived, LST went to Sörbysjön to try to catch the new Savi’s warbler heard singing yesterday, but unfortunately he wasn’t so lucky and this Savi’s wasn’t any more there. MLA has also carried out her wetland survey areas and DWE surveyed Torsholman for Ortolan Bunting.
Despite of the weather, the GRW project has been also very successful, trapping one male with logger, 2 new females and 1 new male. In addition, Sörbysjön Aslajön, Segerjö and Egeby were being checked today, finding new males singing long song, females moving around and selecting males (which they are singing KS), new nests with eggs (one of them with six eggs!!!).
