Nets were open in a peaceful and warm morning, with almost no wind. 

I wasn't expecting much of the day but it turned out to be much better than yesterday! In the first round, I already had 3 new birds to ring, which was the total amount of yesterday's captures! All in all, 10 new birds were ringed today, among which my first chick of Chiffchaff.

But it is mainly the retraps that were really interesting today. Strangerly, many adult birds, ringed in the previous years were trapped today. It looks as if they knew that ringing usually stops the 15th! So, a garden warbler ringed in 2019 as an adult was already a good one: this bird is at least 3 years old and has undertaken at least 3 migrations to the south and back! Well done!

But the probably even more funny retrap has been the one of a wood pigeon today. This pigeon was ringed here by Andreas in 2016 as an adult! Also, it apparently had not been recaptured since then! That actually made my day :)
