Laajalahti ringing 15.10.2011

Yesterday I was ringing in Espoo Laajalahti with Tom Nordblad. We had a good ringing session with totally 145 birds ringed. That's much much more than I expected. Anyway, most of the birds ringed were Blue Tits and not any uncommon birds were caught. For me, the best birds were almost 20 Yellowhammers which are always so hard to catch. Also one Bearded Tit and Arctic Redpoll are worth mentioning. Thanks Tomppa for the help!


Bearded Tit, female.


Arctic Redpoll, adult female of ssp. exilipes.
