Revtangen August 12th - continued wader ringing

We tried wader ringing again today, with 6 walk-in traps and 10 spring traps between 09-15. Even though numbers were down compared to the wet and miserable evening before, there was still enough for a decent catch.

Ringed: dunlin 100, red knot 9, sanderling 3, little stint 3, turnstone 6. Total = 121.

Ringmerket: Myrsnipe 100, polarsnipe 9, sandløper 3, dvergsnipe 3, steinvender 6. Total = 121. 


Adult turnstone. Voksen steinvender. 

Adult little stint, a rare catch. Close to 1200 little stints have been ringed at Revtangen, but this is only the 10th adult. Voksen dvergsnipe, en uvanlig fangst. 

Wader ringing at Revtangen. Not a bad day at the office.

In the eveneing we put up the nets round the new pond in an effort to trap green sandpiper with playback. 3 more birds were caught: green sandpiper 1, redstart 1, redwing 1.

The first green sandpiper (1cy) ringed in our new colour flag ringing project. Skogsnipe 1K, den først med flagg i et nytt flaggmerkingsprosjekt. 

Ringmerket: Myrsnipe 100, polarsnipe 9, sandløper 3, dvergsnipe 3, steinvender 6, skogsnipe 1, rødstjert 1, rødvingetrost 1. Total = 124.
