Landsort diary 19th October 2016

Overnight rain continued at first light so 12 nets were opened at 0830, with ringing stopping at 1445 as a light shower preceded forecasts of more rain.
 
A total of 100 new birds of 19 species, the best being a Red-breasted Flycatcher. A Great Grey Shrike avoided capture, getting out of the net just before I got to it!!!
 
Plenty of winter thrushes moving today along with flocks of Waxwing, Stock Dove and smaller passerines.
 
Fredrik was out for the day and spent it birding around the island with Bosse.
 
Just the 3 at the Obs tonight: Chris, Kay and Bosse.
