Kvismare Totals

It's been a good while since I last blogged, so I'll bring you up to date with totals from the ringing season so far. Ending July we're in about the same place numbers wise as last year but there're some interesting differences. Robins and most warblers are slightly down on last year but Tits, Finches and Buntings have fared well.
