Interesting autumn with owls and large numbers of chiff chaffs (16.11.2011)
All mist nets were taken down on the 15th of November, and this marks the end of autumn season for the standardized mist netting and bird ringing at the observatory. The ringing totals for autumn season ends at 6624 birds distributed over 73 species. Autumn 2011 stands out as a record season for owls. It has also been a good year for raptors, and birds that are normally not caught in the mist nets have been ringed and logged at the observatory. We have also seen an unusual number of chiff chaffs and blue tits this season.
