Illmitz 2009 - Biologische Station

From July 11th to 18th I volunteered at the "Biologische Station" in Illmitz in the National Park Neusiedler See - Seewinkel. My job was it to assist in the (basically song-) bird ringing process. Besides extracting birds from the mist nets and scribing work I ringed more than 100 birds in this week! Thanks to the station head Matthias and the other team members Christine, Tom and Dennis!
