Article of September 10, 2012 : Blackcaps finally arrived!!

These last days, thanks to the good weather  and the favorable winds of North / northeast, Blackcaps have finally decided to migrate. For proof: we even made two Belgian controls! Yesterday was especially the "best" morning with a total of 127 captures including 104 Blackcaps.
On the other hand, in terms of species, our mornings are little diversified. However we can mention the capture of one Whetear in the trap (the first one for the station!), our fourth Sparrowhawk, two Tree Pipits and our first Goldcrests.
This morning with the return of strong winds of southwest the balance sheet is sharply lower with only thirty captures...

Wheatear (Oenanthe oenanthe).

Blue Tit (Cyanistes caeruleus).

Wren (Troglodytes troglodytes).

Sparrowhawk, the fourth! (Accipiter nisus).

Tree Pipit (Anthus trivialis).

Goldcrest (Regulus regulus).
