New Arrivals

Well we arrived at Gedser Fuglestation to a very warm welcome indeed from the local birding community, especially from Rune and Gert who we can't thank enough for their help so far.

Todays ringing saw a total of 26 birds ringed Including;

1 Sparrowhawk

1 Wryneck

11 Robins

5 Common Redstart

1 Song Thrush

1 Blackcap
