Warming up (2 April 2009)

Today it was a very warm day and it was around 17 degrees. We observed a huge volume of migration of mainly raptors in the Aras valley. We observed 40 black kites, 1 golden eagle, 25 sparrowhawks, 1 Pallid harrier and 6 alpine swifts. We ringed 19 birds out of 6 species. Jukka got used to the station today and had an orientation by Sedat.

Today's birds are:

Chiffchaff
Robin
Bluethroat
Yellowhammer
Corn bunting
Beared Reedling
