Rødrygget Tornskade

Today was our last day at GFU and luckily we got to see one more new species before we leave - a Red-backed Shrike (Rødrygget Tornskade) - the first ringed for the year. Another slow day all up; just 14 new birds and a few controls, one of which was an Icterine Warbler (Gulbug) ringed in July 2007.

Tomorrow morning we leave for Copenhagen airport (not before ringing a few more birds) and then on to UK. We've had a fantastic time working here at the fuglestation and we've caught some great species in the past six weeks! Thanks to everyone here for making us feel so welcome and for giving us this great opportunity to ring birds in Denmark. Hopefully we'll be back in a year or two!
