Yesterday evening, we did a second Water Rail session. The session started slowly and the nets were empty for a while. As we were ready to call it a day, we captured 1 Water Rail and it convinced us to continue a bit longer. We did the right choice since we ringed 6 Water Rail after all and we captured a Water Rail which had been ringed in Belgium.
And last but not least, during our last round, we captured our first nocturnal bird of prey of the ringing station: a Long Eared Owl!
