Today we were joined by Heidi and Loise who are here to gain experience using mist nets in preparation for working with Orange-fronted Parakeets (Aratinga canicularis) in Costa Rica. They chose a good day to come to Gedser as we caught a good selection of species today despite the foggy conditions.
Two new species for us today. The first was a female Starling (Stær) with a brood patch, probably one of those that we've seen collecting nest material for the nest boxes in the garden during the past week. The second was a Common Redpoll (Gråsisken).
Thirty-nine new birds ringed in total today - species including two more Linnets (Tornirisk) a Firecrest (Rødtoppet fuglekonge), a Greenfinch (Grønirisk) and another Willow Warbler (Løvsanger).
Fairly strong south winds forecast for tomorrow morning, hopefully we can find some nets out of the wind.
Joe and Lucy
