The End of Winter Season

On 09.03.2014 Milica, Magdalena and me went to Novi Sad garbage dump to catch gulls.
This time i brought my bigger clap net. Covering some 65m2. At 09:00 I've got some 150-200 BHGs in catching area so started the clap net but the pipes didn't went all the way to the ground, in net was some trash and blocked it so all birds escaped...Two hours later I have again more then 100 birds in catching area so I wanted to start the clap net but the rope snapped...It was really frustrating...We again wait almost 2 hours and this time one side of the clap net didn't went down to the ground so at that side more then 50 gulls escaped at the end I ringed 61 BHGs. This was really hard day...I was happy that I managed to catch 61gulls, better than nothing...

On 15.03.2014 we again visit Novi Sad garbage dump and we ringed 22 BHGs.

We finished winter season with 440 cr BHGs. Considering that we started season 26 January it is not so bad. Now it's time for breeding birds :)

Few photos from both days:
