First Løvsanger for the year

Another windy day today but we managed to find a few nets to put up and got some interesting results.

Alongside two Chiffchaffs (Gransanger) we ringed the first Willow Warbler (Løvsanger) of the year. Also the Linnets (Tornirisk) have well and truly arrived and we ringed two males and two females this morning. Another Firecrest (Rødtoppet Fuglekonge), two Chaffinch (Bogfinke), three Robins (Rødhals) and five Dunnocks (Jernspurv) brought todays total to 18 new birds and a handful of control Robins.

We've also been using Gert's new ring dispenser today which works amazingly and has made finding the right ring while holding onto a bird much easier.

Hi L&J

Nice catch today - or should I say again - the firecrest from yesterday does look a bit "horney" doesn’t it?

Gert - well done - looking forward to see how it works.
