The day started late due to rain that hadn’t quite stopped when it was time to drop nets. We feared a third dull day although a Fieldfare that threw itself into the net in front of us was very welcome.

First year female Fieldfare

Our numbers really improved when we discovered a large flock of Blue Tits in the high net close to the Fuglehus. That not only kept us occupied but also provided a further two birds ringed under the Swedish scheme.

We hadn't expected to use the keeping boxes again this season
