We are Joe and Lucy from Perth, Western Australia. We will be staying at the fuglestation for the next month (maybe two). We're very excited to finally be here after two days of travelling!
We had a nice easy start with Rune yesterday, only eight new birds were ringed but it gave us chance to get to know the station and become familiar with some of the common species. We caught a Chaffinch (Bogfinke) four Dunnocks (Jernspurv) and three Blue-tits (Blåmejse). We also caught six Robins (Rødhals) already with rings.
Today was much the same but a little better as there was no wind. We ringed nine Dunnocks, a Great-tit (Musvit), a Chaffinch and a stunning Goldcrest (Fuglekonge) which we were very excited to see. We also caught nine Robins already ringed - are there any Robins in Gedser without rings?? - and a Blackbird (Solsort) and a Wren (Gærdesmutte) both with rings.
The highlight of the day was a Dunnock with a Swedish ring!
We are also enjoying working in the new ringing shed (pictured) which has allowed us to keep warm as we're not quite used to the cold yet :)
