Revtangen BO May 17th

Thick fog in the morning hours, and the nets caught little else than water. The fog eventually cleared but a southern 5-7 m/s was far from ideal and the catch was all but impressive. Nets open 06-18, netmeter hours approx. 4000. 

Ringed: Collared Dove 1, Fieldfare 2, Redwing 1, Sedge Warbler 2, Common Whitethroat 3, Willow Warbler 5, Common Starling 2, House Sparrow 1, Chaffinch 1. Total = 18. Also 8 controls, including a Sedge Warbler not from Revtangen. 

Ringmerket: Tyrkerdue 1, gråtrost 2, rødvingetrost 1, sivsanger 2, tornsanger 3, løvsanger 5, stær 2, gråspurv 1, bokfink 1. Total = 18. Også 8 kontroller, inkl. en sivsanger merket annetsteds.
