Start ringing

These last 2012 days were so good. This year has been a great one for me, full of magic moments that I'll never forget.

This month I became a ringer, and I started my ringing sessions in the last three days.

In La Corbatera, near the river Llobregat, I caught 58 birds, the main part tits (Blue Cyanistes caeruleus, Long-tailed Aegithalos caudatus and Great Parus major). Also some Chaffinches (Fringilla coelebs), Cetti's Warblers (Cettia cetti) and Blackbirds (Turdus merula). 

Also, in l'Aiguamoll de la Bòbila, 'my other home', I trapped about 40 birds. Here you can see some photos.
