This first week of capture is marked by a catastrophic
weather with relatively strong wind gusts.
Our ringing sessions are fast arrested and scores are
low : about twenty catches per day, mainly in nets. However we have already
made some atypical or less common species on our site with: one Green Woodpecker,
one Black Redstart, one Cetti's Warbler, one Reed Warbler and two Bullfinches.
This morning, there is no wind anymore and that’s much
better! We captured 55 birds including 11 in the trap and the great majority
are Blackcaps (18) and Chiffchaffs (17).
Green Woodpecker, young male (note few red feathers of
the "mustache"). (Picus viridis)
