Article of August 13, 2012 : The canopy in action!

After coming up against some technical problems, the wait of new pieces in order and the brilliant do-it-yourself of my colleagues: that's it! The new toy of the station is finally functional! It is a canopy net (high net). “Birds have to be careful” this one rises about ten meters high!
Side ringing, mornings are still pretty quiet, obliging us to open lot of nets. However we ringed our first Redstart of the season and our second Spotted Flycatcher!


The canopy net.


Redstart (Phoenicurus phoenicurus).

Bullfinch, female (Pyrrhula pyrhula).


A big thank you to all my colleagues for the installation of the canopy net. Thank you also to the assistants of this week: Arnaud, Frederique, Gael, Michel and Simon.
