HVRS, 26th February to 1st March 2014 Spring has started in Hula Valley. The days were mostly warm and sunny after cold beginnings. On two mornings when I arrived in the dark, the grass was wet but, by the time I had opened the nets, the temperature had dropped sufficiently for ice to be forming at ground level. It soon melted just after sunrise and temperature rose to low 20s C. There still not many birds around the ringing station, but at least more than during the winter and typical spring migrants are arriving. The total for the four days was 174 birds of 20 species (all numbers include retraps). To achieve this I was using between 280 and 360 metres of net, which is a lot more than I would be able to have open while working alone later in March. This shows that really there are still not many birds around. Reed Warblers (49) were the commonest species and next were Penduline Tits (46). Also caught for the first time this spring were Sedge Warblers (3), Lesser Whitethroats (3) and Olivaceous Warbler (1). The Olivaceous Warbler was a retrap, ringed by Nadav in the Hula NR, 27/06/07 as an age 3 so now nearly 7 years old. The unusual bird, for HVRS, was Zitting Cisticola which is a species we do not catch every year even though they are present near the ringing station. Totals: Alcatt 1, Acrmel 1, sch 3, sci 49, ste 1, Carcar 3, Cetcet 9, Cisjun 1, Erirub 2, Fricoe 5, Halsmy 1, Hippal 1, Lussve 9, Phycol 18, Prigra 14, Pycxan 3, Rempen 46, Saxtor 3, Sylcom 1, cur 4. Next dates 06 to 09 March, Thursday to Sunday. Francis
