Helgoland trap - Fair Isle

Helgoland trap

... just for feathered tourists!

This picture shows a bird-trap, a socalled Helgoland trap. You will find quite a few of those on Fair Isle, since the Bird Observatory tries to get as much data on migrant birds as possible.

You might notice that there are bushes inside the traps, and that is what attracts the birds (there are hardly any bushes or trees on Fair Isle...).

Once trapped in these traps, the birds are ringed and then released.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
