First week of August

Tringa-waders and Willow Warblers

In total 145 birds were ringed between August 1st and August 6th. There was finally a change in the weather, with some rain at times. Most trapping sessions were less than a full day. On August 1st we trapped a record 10 Green Sandpipers, our best single-day catch so far of this species. Also on the 1st-2nd we caught and colourringed 7 Greenshank. Willow Warblers dominated the catch, as the migration of warblers hasn't really kicked off yet.
