Landsort diary 30th October 2016

Finally - a decent enough day with 15 nets opened at 0600, two more opened as the wind decreased slightly and all nets closed at 1300. Despite the better conditions the catch was only moderate with just 70 new birds of 15 species.
 
Susann left on the morning ferry with Gunilla leaving at 1330. During the morning Måns, Johan and 4 children arrived, joined in the afternoon by Mattias and his youngster.
 
After entering data, Kay & Chris headed off to empty nest boxes, checking nearly 50 in just 1 hour before the early dusk settled in!!!
 
There will be 10 at the Obs tonight: Chris, Kay, Måns, Johan, Mattias and five children under the age of 10.
 
Observatory or crèche???
