Today we had a very slow day at the station, around 5 or 6 birds per round and not new species for the season, but these slow days are alslo good to chat a bit more about moulting, bird id and dream about the rarities that are for sure coming to visit us very soon. We decided to close all the nets just after standard time because we saw no point on keeping them open with the numbers of birds that we were catching, and not much later, it started raining a lot, so it was a wise decission.

During the afternoon we went to the tip to do some birdwatching, and we saw Willow Warbler,Arctic Skua, Grey Heron, Greenfinch, Common Scotter, Sandwich, Common and Acrtic tern bewteen others.
