Catching a wave

A busier day today as another wave of birds arrived. Captures were unremarkable, being mainly Robins (Rødhals), Goldcrest (Fuglekonge) and Dunnock (Jernsperv) although a Reed Warbler (Rørsanger) was fairly late. There were a few more Sparrowhawks (Spurvehøg) about and a Black Redstart (Husrødstjert) was seen briefly on the roof of the house.

One of the Robins carried a ring issued by the Swedish ringing scheme.

For the second day a Brimstone butterfly (Citronsommerfugl) frequented the area in front of the house.
