Here come the trushes!

We were starting to desesperate when we have finally had a correct weather with a wind coming from North East. For us, this means more birds coming from North and searching for a better climate to spend the winter. We have seen the first significant influx of trushes and blackbirds and we even celebrated, last sunday morning, our first redwing's captures of the year.
As a consequence, our catchings are increasing and we've passed a hundred captures these last two days and we've reached 81 captures this morning. 
Among these, we captured a second Yellow-browed warbler only a few meters aways from where we caught the first one! We can also enhanced the captures of about ten coal tits, another common redstar, 1 stonechat and 1 common starling thanks to the helgoland trap and also a female Sparrowhawk in the canopy net this morning. 

Common Starling (Sturnus vulgaris).
