To open or not to open

onsdag 29. marts 2017

That was this morning question.... It was grey and rain was expected from the weather forecast... It has been hard to decide if and how many nets to open! In the end, I opened some nets at 6.15 but had to close them after they trapped only one new chiffchaff!
The rain stopped eventually and the nets were opened again. I didn't open all of them because it was still looking like it could rain any minute. I finally ringed three hours in a row and these were 3 nice hours with a good number of siskins again! I managed to ring 59 of them before the rain came again
In order to have a standard time, I re-opened nets for the third time after half an hour of rain. But at that time, the birds were gone, giving only a few new birds in the nets.
Well, it was as complicated as it sounds!

But the good thing is we have a standard ringing day and many siskins! Another redpoll came among them as well. 

birds ringed today:
Jernspurv - Dunnock: 1
Rødhals - Robin: 3
Gransanger - Chiffchaff: 1
Fuglekonge - Goldcrest: 4
Rødtoppet fuglekonge - firecrest: 1
Bogfinke - Chaffinch: 2
Grønsisken - Siskins: 59
Nordlig gråsisken : 1
