Ringing Yellow-crowned Bishops in Salreu (September 12, 2014)
Another early morning bird ringing-session in the marshes of Salreu, guided by Julio M. Neto. Results and more information can be found here: https://sites.google.com/site/juliomneto/blog/bishopgalore
The Yellow-crowned Bishops Euplectes afer originate from Africa and are considered invasive in the area. They are currently nesting (we trapped an egg-carrying female) and “pollute” our captures. Luckily, I find them quite easy to get out of the nets.
