Landsort diary 28th July 2016

All nets opened at 0400 but closed at 0830 when wind increased and brought the first of what was forecast to be a series of rain showers for the rest of the morning. It turned out to be the ONLY rain shower of the morning, but it was enough to see an end to ringing for the day.
 
A poor total of just 11 new birds of 7 species including the fourth Magpie of the year.
 
See updated diary entries for the 26th and 27th for further sightings of interest - provided by Janne and Kalle.
 
Will be seven again at the Obs tonight.
