More Ménétries´s Warblers!!

Last few days have been excellent ringing days with more than 200 birds caught daily. Among them we had also some nice birds, for example 2 Ménétries´s Warblers, Scops Owl, Squacco Heron, many Eastern Bonelli's Warblers, Eastern Orphean Warblers, Hoopoes and a lot of Blackcaps, Lesser Whitethroats and Spanish Sparrows.

Today afternoon we went to K20 to twitch a possible Kittlitz's Plover found by Tom, Jände and Juha. We saw this bird very distant and it looked good but nobody was able to id it. After that we went to K19 and saw a possible Oriental Turtle Dove that was found day before. But again very distant and at least for me it's hard to say anything about that bird.
