One better than yesterday

Another slow morning today with just 15 new birds ringed. However we did ring the first Lesser Whitethroat (Gærdesanger) for the year after the two controls caught yesterday. We also caught another Tree Pipit (Skovpiber), a species which we were not expecting to see again.

If we identified the call correctly there were Reed Buntings (Rørspurv) in the garden today. We tried luring them into the net with the callers after standard time but were unsuccessful. There was also a female Mallard (Gråand) wandering around under one of the nets early this morning.

Weather forecast for tomorrow is awful! Lets hope Gedser Odde is a law unto itself as usual and we can open some nets.
