Easterlies! shame its not September....

Another staggered and delayed start to the ringing, this time due to the overnight rain taking its time to clear away, it left a very pleasant day albeit with a very cold, brisk easterly wind which sprang up from nowhere.   The overnight rains left us very little in the way of action with a disappointing seven new birds ringed including another Chiffchaff.

Locally, the day's highlight was an adult Gannet which spent a few minutes cruising around in front of the station mid-morning - very scarce on this side of Denmark.   Other birds seen through the day included a total of 31 Common Crossbills over, one of the ringed Firecrests still lingering in the garden, a female Peregrine and a Kestrel although my highlight of the day was when Hans popped in with a bag full of pastries!
 
Of course the Gannet was nice as well!
