Article of August 19, 2012 : A nice shot in the trap!

It’s not often the case, then that is worth being indicated. One morning, it’s the trap which “saved the day”!! While we hardly reached 13 captures for 200 meters of nets, trap gave us twice more birds. Besides, this morning, the trap was "not activated" ("open" and without birds songs) and while seeing some birds going inside them as we activated it. In the end, we made 31 captures in one single push (mixed group of tits, warblers, and one Pied Flycatcher: the first one of the station!).
These last days we also captured our first Sparrowhawk in the trap, the second Sedge warbler and our first foreign control of the season: a Belgian Garden Warbler!

The first one! : Pied Flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca).


Sparrowhawk, female (Accipiter nisus).

Whitethroat, beautiful male in new plumage ! (Sylvia communis).
