We had a magpie today (25 March 2009)

It was around 10 degrees all day and we can not consider it as a warm day for Aras station. But we had new birds like wren and magpie today. We ringed 17 birds out of 9 species. It is getting better and better day by day. We are expecting more birds when it gets warmer at Aras station.

Today's birds are:

Chiffchaff
Robin
Bluethroat
Reed bunting
Stonechat
Yellowhammer
Dunnock
Wren
Magpie
