On Saturday the 10th of November, we captured our 10 000th bird at the station and hanged our 8 000th ring of the year the very same day!
10 000 birds: it is a symbolic number, this is huge and we're glad to share this event with you.
On the captures side, we have had a few more nice sessions these last days, reaching easely about one hundred captures a day and we even caught 248 birds last Friday.

On the menu: we ringed Sparrowhawks (20 captured this year, almost as much as last year (21)), we also caught our first Brambling of the year and a few more Blue Tits, among these one had been ringed in Littuany.
Eurasian Wren (Troglodytes troglodytes).
Common Firecrest (Regulus ignicapilla).
Brambling, male (Fringilla montifringilla).
Blackbird (Turdus merula).
A small red ball: this is the Eurasian Bullfinch! (Pyrrhula pyrrhula).
Today, another nice event at the station : Happy Birthday to Mélodie!!
And this is her gift from the station: a Sparrowhawk... (Accipiter nisus).
