Revtangen BO September 8th-9th

Finally the wind settled, and we even got a feeling with some easterlies! On the 8th the wind started in the SE and we got a decent fall of birds just after dawn, but a few light rainshowers inn from the sea turned the wind around to SW quite early. On the 9th there was light easterlies and near perfect conditions in the morning, and we caught around 80 birds on the first round, mostly Garden Warblers and Blackcaps. The wind stayed in the SE the whole day, and we managed to trap some Sand Martins in the afternoon.
