A nice, pleasant start to the day being sunny with a light easterly breeze but through the morning the wind picked up and swung round to the SW bringing with it a short spell of heavy rain just before lunch. Managed to get a full ringing session in before that arrived though but only caught 10 new birds which included a smart red, male Common Rosefinch, 2 Icterine Warblers, 2 Garden Warblers and a Reed Warbler.
Out of 13 caught so far this spring, this is the second red one
Garden Warbler
Louis had the only other really noteworthy bird today as a Little Egret flew east past the tip in the morning - still a very scarce bird here at Gedser with only three previous records I believe.
Latticed Heath at Kroghage today
