Revtangen BO April 9thy-30th

Mid-April was warmer than usual and very sunny with calm winds. Pleasant, but not good for catching migrants as the weather was much too nice and easterlies were scarce. Some rtinging was carried out on 13 days, but mostly only with half the nets. The best days were the 12th (31 birds) and 21st (43 birds). Towards the end of the months temperatures dropped significantly and the wind turned N-NW.
