Revtangen BO April 4th

Finally some decent weather after a long windy period. Nets were up from 07.15-11.45. Sunny and little wind. Netmeter-hours = 1300. 

Ringed: White wagtail 1, robin 2, blackbird 4, great tit 2, crested tit 1, tree sparrow 4, house sparrow 4, chaffinch 1, greenfinch 1, yellowhammer 1. Total = 21, Also 10 controls.

Crested tits are rarely trapped at Revtangen BO. Only one was ringed the last 3 seasons, and this is the only the 8th ever ringed in spring. Most are caught as 1cy in summer. 

A few new arrivals seen, a golden plover and a few flyover linnets. A few decent flocks of oystercatchers were moving north over the sea, in addition to a limited number of lesser black-backed gulls and common gulls. Otherwise not much visible migration.
