Landsort diary 25th July 2016

All nets opened at 0400. Non-standard closed at 1100 and Standard at 1130. 23 new birds of 13 species. the 6th Jackdaw for the year caught but unfortunately the two Green Woodpecker that spent most of the morning calling in the area did not oblige us by going in the nets!

 

No lecture today - this initiative has not proved to be as popular as the guided talks.
