Newly hatched Crested tits (Topmejse ) in the net !

This morning, Martina and me went opening the nets, while Frederik enjoyed a little extra sleep and joined us for the first round. The weather conditions were very good - sunny weather, warm and not much wind - which is unfortunately also perfect for mosquitoes !

We caught more birds than we had these last few days. In our last rounds to the net, we caught 4 Crested tits (Topmejse), all of them likely born this year. This species is highly social and form small flocks, therefore it is not unusual to caught several of them in the nets.
