The end of the migratory stop programme is approaching and we can feel it! On one hand, the weather is not on our side, preventing us to open the nets or shortening the time of opening... On the other hand, the birds have simply left.
Our results are quite low, about 20 captures a day. This morning, we did a bit better with 43 birds captured.
At this moment, we are starting to catch more wintering passerines (Robins, Trushes, Blackbirds, Tits, Firecrests and Goldcrests and a few Chiffchaff and Eurasian Blackcap).

Among the uncommon species, one can notice the ringing of a Cetti's warbler last wednesday. This is the 7th caught in 2012.
Eurasian Woodcock (Scolopax rusticola).
Cetti's warbler (Cettia cetti).
Blackbird (Turdus merula).
Common Chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita).
Coal Tit (Periparus ater).
