Landsort diary 5th august 2016

All nets opened at 0400 in light winds which dropped as the morning progressed and some cloud cover made for ideal netting conditions. Non-standard closed at 1100 and Standard at 1200, with 56 new birds of 15 species, including young Thrush Nightingale and Pied Flycatcher.
 
Nice to get a morning with 50+ birds.
 
Bosse spent time migration watching but not many birds moving past the island in this calm weather.
 
After the last of the Members that have been here for the last couple of weeks leave today we have Albin and Anton arriving tonight for two nights, giving 4 at the Obs.
