Days are not alike!
After a day like yesterday my hopes were not very high this morning... Hoewever, days succeed but are definitely not alike!!
Surprinsingly, I had much more birds trapped today but above all, a very nice diversity with a few suprises!
It all started at 6:00 in one of the last net of the round, I found this bird:
With not tail and very worn but it is a red breated flycatcher! And what's more is that it had an obvious brood patch!
A few minutes later, I heard an oriole in the edge of the garden!! But had no chance to see it. I also heard at least two bullfinches on the path but not seen either.
However, the day was not over and the singing rosefinch of yesterday which was still singing this morning suddenly got silent... it was trapped in a net!!
This was a first in the hand for me! So I was very happy to get it! But even more, is that a few round later, I got another one!!
Not need to say that I got quite excited! I therefore tried to keep nets open acouple of hours more but only got one more bird.
All in all, it has been a really nice day! 13 different species trapped mostly new birds but also a couple of retraps among which one garden warbler ringed in 2017.
