Very few birds including a brambling (18 April 2009)

Today we had very few birds due to bad weather of clouds and rain at 8 degrees al day. We observed a short-toed eagle migrating, bearded tits right behind our trailer, an osprey hunting in the pond and little crake. Today we ringed 11 birds out of 10 species.

Today's birds are:

Water pipit
Swallow
Starling
Willow warbler
Yellow wagtail
Redstart
Cetti's warbler
Wryneck
Great reed warbler
Brambling

  1. Excellent bird. With this one, the number of bird species ringed at Aras reaches 157 and a total of 212 bird species have been observed at Aras since we started it in 2006. This is 46% of the bird species known from all of Turkey.
