Despite a drizzly morning we managed to open the nets for a few hours, doing constant rounds so that none of the birds we caught stayed in the net for too long. There was a bit more activity in the garden than over the last few weeks, and we caught a few more birds as a result. We managed to attract a small flock of grønsiskin to one of the high nets by playing their calls from a speaker, and also caught a number of solsort, rødhals and fuglekonge.

The rain intensified before midday so we decided to call it a day. We finally got around to taking down the very old pond nets and packing them away for the winter.

The nights are certainly drawing in now!

Cheers,

Gail
