They'll be here any day now.

Another disappointing day due to windy conditions. There are few birds in the garden and birds are still flying over the station, and in many cases, straight out to sea.

 1k Goldcrest (Fuglekonge)

 1k Treecreeper (Træløber)

We caught our first Goldcrest (Fuglekonge) and Treecreeper (Træløber) of the season and a few more Sparrowhawks, that pleased Craig as wing shape and primary length data of these birds form the basis of his dissertation.

A Long-eared Owl (Skovhornugle) was heard calling in the station garden in the afternoon.

So, still no large numbers of migrants in the garden, but they have to pass through and it will be any day now.
