It was almost raining a tiny bit and there was no wind when we opened the nets this morning. 

We already could predict it would be a good day while opening because there were a lot of trushes and blackbirds calling and fooling around the garden.

And it has been very good indeed! We had a lot of robins in the nets in the first round as well as a fair amount of blackbirds. Then, it barely slowed and goldcrests arrived. There were really big flocks of fieldfares in the sky and some raptors migration as well. Gaétan came back from the third round with a good suprise: a ring ouzel! The first for Henrik who was happy to ring it! And the 33rd of the station but the first of the year!

The total amount of new birds ringed today reached 277!
