Landsort diary 21st October 2016

Very strong Easterly winds restricted the number of nets opened at 0700 to just 5, with one further net opened at 1100 when the wind eased slightly. All nets closed at 1400.
 
Despite the wind and restricted netting we managed 160 new birds of 20 species, including the first Great Grey Shrike of the year and first Goldfinch of the autumn
 
Janne and Bosse left the island at 1500 and Lasse arrived on the morning ferry.
 
There will be seven at the Obs overnight: Chris, Kay, Lasse, Rasmus, Jacob, Johan and Liam.
