A new hotspot is found.

Yesterdag evening I went out to same place at last and put up two net in same places. After 15 minutes when it be a little darker I do the first check of the mistnets. When I put on my headtorch it hanging 5 nightjars in the nets and I start to take them in for ringing. Next check it hang 2 more nightjars and after that no more. 6 of them was newringed and one was a recover from yesterday
This is a hole new trapping place in the bushareas with big open fields around and I think it´s a hotspot for migration nightjars. Several of them has wet tailfeathers and I think they are roosting on the open field at the days.

 Waiting for the nightjars.
