Last day of standarised ringing
Today it was not possible for us to open the nets. We woke up at 06:30 am to check the garden but it was incredibly windy, then every 30 minutes we checked again to see if we would be able to open the nets, but in the end we could not. There were gusts between 17 - 15 m/s all the morning, and besides that, in all our rounds around the garden we only heard a few blackbirds and the usual tree sparrows.
So far, in terms of numbers, we have only ringed 387 birds in 15 days of November, and almost every day after standard we have tried with several speakers to lure them into the nets. So far no luck, but we are not giving up.
We will try tomorrow again!
I hope you had a good day,
Best,
Ramón.
