For the first time in days it was relatively calm when we went out to
set the nets. We knew there had been a considerable arrival as some
birds were disturbed as we walked around and put the nets up, and by the
amount of ticking from the garden as we set off for the first round.
There had clearly been an arrival of Robins (Rødhals) with a few Song Thrush (Sangdrossel) and some other migrant passerines too. One Robin already had a ring issued by the Swedish ringing scheme.
As the morning progressed we began to catch Chiffchaffs (Gransanger) and the Robins just kept appearing in the nets. The number of birds didn't decrease as sharply, as usual, after the first couple of rounds and we continued to extract birds, of a good number of species, into the early afternoon.
We had few recaptures but a Gulspurv / Yellowhammer was the first that we've caught at this site.
