All nets except those in reed bed opened at 0400, These five were opened a bit later in the morning, once the Roe Deer which were feeding in the reeds had left - thought it best to avoid the nets being destroyed by them!!! Non-standard nets closed at 1030 and standard at 1200.

18 new birds of 10 species caught.
Drop-in guiding for four adults and one under 16 given.
After a rest it is off to thin out some of the willows near the football pitch. They are growing that thickly that birds are not going into them to feed.
Kalle, Marie and Janne have spent time migration watching, but fairly quiet. A probable Barn Swallow/ House Martin hybrid seen, first by Marie on a couple of occasions and then by Janne also, Swallow throat and flight feathers but white rump.
Will be 7 again at the Obs tonight.
