Friday's article 25/05/2012 : News of any kinds!

We continue now to prepare the future ringing season. We have just finished the extension of the entrance flaps of the Helgoland trap. We also arranged upstream of the trap young shrubs in pots "to fill" the lack of vegetation.

Ringing is not outdone this week by the realization on the Fort-Vert polders of one ringing chicks operation of lapwings as well as our second session of the protocol STOC in the dune. The total is better with 39 captures, to note the ringing of one Icterine Warbler as well as our first young of the year of a Long-Tailed Tit.
