Yesterday
the weather forecast predicted us to stay very quietly at home with fairly
strong winds and besides the rain that must arrive around 11 am. As we always
prefer to take our chances, arriving at the station there was only a slight east
wind, on the other hand the rain came earlier than expected around 9 am... It's
a pity, because the morning started pretty well with 71 captures, 2 Tree Pipits
and our first Jays of the season (three at once!).
Otherwise
thrushes arrive and this week we begin to capture Song Thrushes! Yesterday, we
also heard our first Redwing, also our first Brambling and some Crossbills.
Since
Thursday we had good diversified with again the capture of one Coal tit, 1
Green Woodpecker, 1 Spotted Flycatcher. Friday was the best morning with 134
birds caught including 1 Green Woodpecker (again…), 1 Great Spotted Woodpecker,
another Wryneck in the Trap and our first Dutch control: a Blackcap!
Jay (Garrulus glandarius).
Tree Pipit (Anthus trivialis).
Green Woodpecker (Picus viridis).
Goldcrest (Regulus regulus).
Coal Tit (Periparus ater).
