Finally, I made my way to Muraviovka Park. But Friedrich and Susanne already built up the mist-nets together with Marketa and started trapping last week. The weather was not very good for catching birds, very hot but with rainfalls and thunderstorms. Only during the last two days we had noticeable migration and ringed a lot. The first
Yellow-browed, Pale-legged and Arctic Warblers arrived, as well as different Flycatchers - most interesting was a juvenile
Dark-sided Flycatcher. This species was recorded for the first time at Muraviovka Park in May 2012 by the German ornithologists Roland Speck and Ulrich Pittius, and a second one was noticed by us in August 2013. Waders also started to pass by, including
Far Eastern Curlews, Whimbrel and
Marsh Sandpiper. But for some species breeding season is not over yet.
Pallas´s Grasshopper-warblers, Ochre-rumped Buntings and
Japanese Quails are still calling, and
Amur Falcons and
Barn Swallows are feeding their chicks in the nest. The bad thing was that we couldn´t use our car due to lack of fuel and some papers. And even worse: last saturday some of our mist-nets and groceries were stolen from the summer camp where we live. Together with all the visa problems we had during the last weeks it was really not an easy start. At least there seem to be less mosquitoes than last year...
