September 8 - Raptors Day! & A new species on the net

Today is the 24th day. 11 species out of 23 birds in total were ringed.

We had a new species for this season: an immature ''Common Rosefinch'' (Carpodacus erythrinus).

Today was also a nice day for raptors. They took advantage of wind in the afternoon. 52 Black Kites (Milvus migrans), 2 Marsh Harrier (Circus aeruginosus), 1 Long-legged Buzzard (Buteo rufinus), 1 Honey Buzzard (Pernis apivorus) and a juvenile Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) glide over us.

Good birding...:)
