Calblanque, Los
Belones (ringing)
Weather: Sky No cloud, wind NE F3-4;
temp.14 - 22ºC. 05:30 – 10:00. With Francisco Garcia (ANSE).
The
penultimate or possibly ultimate day of the spring ringing campaign, and once
again not the best conditions with clear blue skies and quite a breeze
blowing. Surprisingly, the migrants are
still going through, with a couple of Spotted Flycatchers caught on the first
net round, and a female Common Redstart and a couple of Willow Warblers later on. Juvenile Linnets and juvenile Greenfinches
made up the bulk of the rest of the mornings catch, together with Sardinian
Warblers and a single Thekla Lark.
Around the ringing area early on a group of 11 Audouin’s Gulls flew
over, and there were 5 Woodchats.
Bee-eaters could also be heard.
