On Friday I had a productive ringing session at Ashdod, with many migrants around. Newcomers to my site were several Sprossers:
These are not Levant Sparrowhawks on migration - this is a small part of a swarm of mosquitoes that escorted us most of the morning:
After ringing we had a quick look at the gull ponds. There were only 100 gulls left -
fuscus,
heuglini,
cachinnans and
armenicus. Among them three birds with rings - two from Finland and one from Norway, all long-staying birds that do not want to leave. Other than that several hundred Yellow Wagtail (incl.
supecilliaris and
beema), and a single Citrine Wagtail was a good local bird.
