Landsort diary 3rd June 2016

All 30 nets opened at 0400 and closed at 1100. 16 new birds of 11 species, including the second Red-breasted Flycatcher of the year, three more Marsh Warbler and two Reed Warbler.

 

Three visitors who stayed overnight spent a few hours with us, taking pictures for a planned book before leaving on the 0925 ferry.

 

More stripping paint off windows between net rounds.

 

A quick lunch and  then checked 58 more nest boxes from Saltmar to the north. 17 more Great Tit young, a nice brood of 4 Marsh Tit and a female Pied Flycatcher on a nest of eggs brought the overall total for the day to 38 new birds of 14 species.

 

Janne remains on the island overnight and Lasse Cedar has just arrived, giving four at the Obs overnight.
