For today
we had planned a visit of amateur ornithologists to see how it works the bird
ringing. It was expected the arrival after 9 and until then the day had been
bad, very bad. With only one chiffchaff, one lesser whitethroat and two dunnocks
in four hours... so we did not expect to show many birds.
Before
start when we picked up a recapture of lesser whitethroat we have felt relief
to see that at least we could show a bird. Benny and Hans have explained to the
group how it works the bird ringing and then, they visited the laboratory where
we shown the lesser whitethroat.
But the
surprise was to see that in the double net there was a gorgeous male of Yellowhammer,
a great bird to show. And then, in a little time we had more birds to show; a
dunnock and a great tit.
