This morning we went first to dump Gomecello to prime the trap fencing for gulls. Today there was enough, I estimate that about 2000-2500, since then a lot more than last Sunday when he decided to end the year with a net trap shooting and tie. This week will close and trap to see if it is working.
As soon as we have begun to look marsh harriers, in an area where they raised last year, we saw two couples, two males and two females, so it seems that this year in that area again have at least two. Last year they raised three.

To finish the morning we went to place six nest boxes for kestrels on a farm near Salamanca, is known as a colony, raised about 10 pairs last year put 4 boxes nest because as the wind had thrown the roof where he was most of the colony. They took three of them, but the kids did not came to an end, I think the problem was predation by cats, which I have no less clear is whether the cats were of four or two legs.

For the manufacture of the boxes we used recycled wood cuts of a work, and hinges also have recycling old furniture. To avoid predation by cats of fours we have inside antipredación device to prevent the two legs we have placed some locks.
