Mostly been long tailed tits and goldcrests this time around. But I have had a day on a previous year where I ringed some 600+ blue tits and back then there was certainly just a little bit of blood drawn by the end of the day.

Ah, this motor is not going to be paired with anything fancy most likely. I already have a cheap chinese e-bike/e-scooter ESC that I will be trying to set it up with.

And yes, those hall effect sensors are exactly as jank as they look! <3

Nah, just a cheap chinese e-bike ESC. At least, that's currently the plan.

Goldcrests, the smallest birds in Europe, regularly fly insane distances compared to their body size during migration. Ie. last fall a goldcrest we ringed at Kabli, Estonia, was caught 5 days later in Denmark, 850km away! Interpolated to human size, that'd be like traversing about 16000km in 5 days!
