Windy... with some results

 It was too windy to net yesterday and early this morning. Luckily the wind dropped by around 10:30 and we were able to have the nets open for a few hours. We didn't do too well in terms of number but we did get a few interesting birds.

Two new species for us, a Goldfinch (Stilits) and a Black Redstart (Husrødstjert) - both the fourth individual for each species ringed for the year. We also caught another Firecrest (Rødtoppet Fuglekonge) the sixth for the year which had some interesting facial appendages.

Just 14 new birds ringed in all - 3 Wrens, 8 Robins, and those mentioned - and 13 controls including a Dunnock ringed in Belgium!
