The weather against me

This morning was unfortunately again interrupted by some strong winds and heavy rain showers coming and going. 

I managed to have the nets open for a few hours, but very few birds were moving because of the weather conditions. I quite miss the times where the weather forcasts were reliable, and where I could get a bit more birds in a morning! 

Whenever you get some birds, all the efforts feel worth it. 

For today, only a cute little Chiffchaff (Gransanger), and a recapture Lesser Whitethroat (Gærdesanger). Better than nothing...

I took the opportunity of this bad weather in the afternoon to do a good cleaning of the station, which was needed. 

So far, the weather looks like tomorrow I won't be able to open any nets because of very strong winds of 13m/s with gusts of 18m/s. 

I very much hope for monday the 15th to be okay weather as it is the last day of the standardized ringing for Spring, and I would love to be able to conduct a last normal morning!! 

We will see...

Ringing totals for today:

Gærdesanger (Lesser Whitethroat): 0/1

Gransanger (Chiffchaff): 1

Total: 1/1
