Revtangen BO October 4th

Finally a day when it was possible to put up some mistnets and do some ringing, even though conditions were far from perfect. A bit of rain and 8-10 m/s from the south the first two hours, after that cloudy and SW 5-8 m/s. The first few hours only a few nets open, most nets open 10-15. Netmeter hours approx. 1900, playback on Yellow-browed Warbler and Garden Warbler through the night.

This 1 cy Lesser Whitethroat had a wing of 61 mm and the primary projection looked a little short, so a few feathers for a DNA-sample were collected. The tail pattern was normal though, so probably just a female from a western population.
