Revtangen BO October 5th-15th

The weather is not doing us any favours at the moment. There was some SE but a bit too strong on the 5th-7th, and only half the nets could be used. After that ringing has been limited to a few hours now and then with less than half the nets. No ringing at all on the 8th, 11th and 15th due to wind and rain. The most noteworthy occurence during this period was a wave of migrant nocturnal butterflies. The light traps were running on October 7th-10th and produced the first ever Delicate (Mytimna vitellina) at Jaeren and Revtangen BO. Other migrants trapped included singles of Pearly Underwing, Gem and Rush Veneer, as well as two Rusty-dot Pearl.
