Revtangen May 1st

Large fall of migrants

Today a moderately strong ESE displaced a large number of migrants towards the west, and produced a large fall along the coast of Rogaland county. Revtangen BO was no exception, and we had the second best spring day we've had the last ten years. Nets open 05.30-19.30, netmeter hours approx. 4800. ESE turning S around 14.30, after the wind turned the trapping conditions became very difficult. 

Ringed: Wood Pigeon 2, Eurasian Wryneck 1, Tree Pipit 1, European Robin 17, Common Redstart 23, Song Thrush 2, Blackcap 9, Common Whitethroat 4, Lesser Whitethroat 1, Willow Warbler 91, Chiffchaff 27, Pied Flycatcher 6, House Sparrow 1, Lesser Redpoll 1, Common Linnet 5. Total = 192.
