Invasion or
not? Every year we ask the same question, Coal tits will be there?
Difficult
to answer but all the “lights are green”: since July first movements are reported
in north and eastern Europe, in August more and more observations are noted on
the migration monitoring sites near to us (Netherlands, Belgium, England), and
in early September the first ones arrived in France in the eastern part (Ardennes,
Lorraine). So we were really happy to capture “ours " on Wednesday in the
trap (and it’s another new species for the station!).
Otherwise
the weather didn’t make us gifts this week, preventing us even from ringing
these last two days! In particular, we can note the capture of our fifth
Wryneck and the control of one Sparrowhawk in the canopy net that we caught few
days ago in the trap.
Coal Tit (Periparus ater).
Song Thrush (Turdus philomelos).
Wryneck (Jynx torquilla).
Chiffchaff and Willow Warbler, I'll let you guess which one it is...?
(Phylloscopus trochilus - Phylloscopus collybita).
