Station closed (22 March 2009)

Today it was again windy and our station switched volunteers. Mustafa, Ulvi and Mehmet had to leave the station because they will have exams at school in a few days. Instead of them two other volunteers came from Kafkas University Biology Department whose names are Hayri and Ali. We could only ring 3 birds out of 2 species because Sedat, who is our ringer, had to leave for an exam and we closed the station all day. Volunteers waited, checked and released all trapped birds. It was windy, but sunny. Bird photographers were also with us all day. We also observed 3 griffon vultures soaring over our station.

Today's birds are:

Chiffchaff
Reed bunting
