Results from 2016 - recoveries and controls

Winter has made a small comeback with a cold-front over Southern Norway at the moment, the stiff NW and low temperatures means trapping is out of the question. So in stead we'll report some of the controls/recoveries we've received the past months. starting with the tits.

Blue tits were on the move last autumn, and we ringed 1156 and controlled quite a few that were already ringed. Typically, blue tits are short-distance migrants with distances above 200 km rarely recorded. Movements typically follow the coast from the east towards the west and northwest.

The results last autumn follow this pattern:

14 Blue tits ringed at Lista Bird observatory was controlled at Revtangen BO. The distance between the two bird observatories is 95 km, and the direction of these movements is NW. 3 of the birds covered this distance in 3 days. One bird was ringed at Lista BO on 26th September, controlled at Revtangen BO on 4th October before it continued on a northeasterly direction and was killed against a window in Suldal, Rogaland on 9th December. Only one bird ringed at Revtangen BO was kontrolled at Lista, but this one was ringed as a 3cy+ female on April 4th 2016 and controlled at Slevdalsvann on October 20th.
