A nice day together with Claus-Jannic and Nina: no special events. Again a lot of sylvidae: Blackcaps, Garden Warblers and the two different Whitethroats. The Lesser Whitethroat is now almost the most caught bird this year at the station. The Robin is still a few birds in front of the Lesser Whitethroat, but will be in second place tomorrow (it is 623 versus 626).

At the lake we had this day 4 Yellow Wagtails, one Linnet and one Tree Sparrow. In total 19 species and 121 captured birds of which 116 new and 5 recaptures. 

So a  completely normal summer day with no special highlights, but a nice dinner prepared by Nina with a nice glass of wine. Live is not so bad sitting outside in the late sun. Tomorrow will be my last day and we have an open garden day for people that want to pick brambles (there are many), but please come after 11 o'clock. Because we will do the standard programme of the day and that is catching birds.
