Autumn mists

Thick, swirling mist greeted us as we set out this morning to raise the nets. There was little sound from the garden and as we took the first couple of rounds we were certain that there had been no sudden influx of migrants. The morning passed very quietly with the only excitement being a call from the tip to say that Snow Buntings (Snespurv) had been heard in flight, but we never saw them and they did not manage to find any of our nets.

We have a visiting ringer with us for a while and some traps were set on the beach this afternoon but again nothing came close to setting them off and there were no extra captures.

 Song Thrush (Sangdrossel)

 First year Siskin (Grønsisken)


Many leaves are now looking most autumnal in the ringing garden. Some of the taller trees have already started to drop their leaves.
