Craig og Heidi åbnede i morges nettene. Hele natten og morgenen har det blæst fra SØ og klokken 08:00 var vi nødsaget til at lukke nettene pga. et ordentligt regnvejr. Derfor har vi ikke kunne matche de to foregående dages rigtig gode fangsttal, men 28 fugle blev det da til, hvilket faktisk er ganske fint, omstændighederne og årstiden taget i betragtning.
Dagens fangster fordeler sig således:
Hvid Vipstjert 1
Rødstjert 1
Kærsanger 4
Rørsanger 6
Gulbug 3
Gærdesanger 3
Tornsanger 4
Havesanger 2
Skovsanger 1
Løvsanger 2
Skovspurv 1
Ved middagstid ankom en journalist og en fotograf fra Folketidende. De brugte en times tid på at interview'e Heidi, Hans og jeg, om livet på fuglestationen og hvorfor vi (Heidi og jeg) har valgt at bruge det meste af vores sommerferie her på GFU. Det var vældig hyggeligt og jeg ser frem til at læse artiklen!
I løbet af natten ser det ud til at vinden går om i V/NV og i morgen tidlig skal den aftage en hel del. Craig og jeg er klar til i morgen og håber på masser fugle!

Trækket fortsætter
I dag blev endnu en god dag på Gedser Fuglestation. Morgenen bragte mange gode fangster, det blev til 152 nymærkninger. Blandt de, for årstiden mange fugle træder disse arter frem som de mest bemærkelsesværdige:
Nattergal 6, Husrødstjert 2, Rødstjert 11, Sivsanger 2, Rørsanger 13, Skovsanger 1, Broget Fluesnapper 4 og Karmindompap 3.
Der ud over har der, som normalt for denne tid, været en del Kærsangere, Gærdesangere og Gulbuge igennem i dag.
De unge mænd har ud over det også set en Rød Glente, da de gik ind til Gedser for at handle. Samt set en Rovterne flyve lige over stationshaven i dag.
Til eftermiddag ankom undertegnede endnu en gang til den lille station, og skal være her og hjælpe med ringmærkning i morgen. Jeg håber på, at den syd-østlige vind bærer noget sjovt med i morgen, men jeg synes ikke vi har haft for meget held med den vind i år - desværre!

Gedser Gold
In total contrast to yesterday's slow ringing day, this morning (4th August) proved relatively busy. With 154 new birds throughout the morning we certainly didn't go short of anything.
Rødhals (Robin) - 1
Nattergal (Thrush Nightingale) - 1
Husrødstjert (Black Redstart) - 1
Rødstjert (Redstart) - 2
Solsort (Blackbird) - 1
Græshoppesanger (Grasshopper Warbler) - 1
Kærsanger (Marsh Warbler) - 32
Rørsanger (Reed Warbler) - 43
Gulbug (Icterine Warbler) - 15
Gærdesanger (Lesser Whitethroat) - 17
Tornsanger (Common Whitethroat) - 9
Havesanger (Garden Warbler) - 8
Skovsanger (Wood Warbler) - 1
Gransanger (Chiffchaff) - 4
Løvsanger (Willow Warbler) - 10
Broget Fluesnapper (Pied Flycatcher) - 2
Korttået Træløber (Short-toed Treecreeper) - 2
Tornirisk (Linnet) - 4
The Robin was the first of the Autumn and a sign of things to come as we continue into August and the migration really hots up.
Gert came today to empty his moth traps and didn't find anything of particular interest, it seemed.
Louis phoned to Anders mid morning to tell of a possible Two-barred Crossbill atop a tree in the garden, which he had observed from the point. Anders ran out, heard the bird calling though couldn't place it and confirmed that Louis' thoughts were correct. Thanks Louis, a lifer for Anders. I stayed to ring the birds in the lab, hopefully tomorrow I will get a 'lifer' too. I did get one today however with Short-toed Treecreeper, it's only taken me 3 Autumns in Denmark.

Slow Saturday
Today (Saturday3rd) was really slow with birds grounded in the garden. This is probably because of the perfect migration conditions. In all the hours we had the nets up, we only caught 20 birds.
Digesvale (Sand Martin) - 1
Hvid Vipstjert (White Wagtail) - 1
Rødstjert (Redstart) - 1
Gulbug (Icterine Warbler) - 2
Gærdesanger (Lesser Whitethroat) - 3
Tornsanger (Common Whitethroat) - 3
Havesanger (Garden Warbler) - 1
Skovsanger (Wood Warbler) - 1
Løvsanger (Willow Warbler) - 4
Tornirisk (Linnet) - 2
Gulspurv (Yellowhammer) - 1
Below is a picture of an Adult Icterine Warbler (Gulbug)
We also re-caught the Rødtoppet Fuglekonge (Firecrest) and noticed the Brood patch is still very prominent. Presumably a local breeder, which as I understand is a great record for South Falster.
Migration was good overhead but we just couldn't keep track of it all.
Louis reported 1200 Common Swift Migrating today along with at least 300 Crossbill.
In the evening a shower or two arrived and brought many Swallows, Martins and Swifts down low over the field next to the house, we only managed to catch one of the Sand Martins, but one is better than nothing.
Brian and Terkel left in the morning after a short stay with us, Heidi also left in the afternoon leaving myself and Anders alone. Take care all of you and thanks for your help.

Another nice day in Gedser.
This morning (Friday 2nd August) conditions were near perfect for ringing. All nets were opened and standardised ringing was completed, we closed the nets for a few hours in the midday sun and then opened again in the afternoon for a short while. Overall, 60 new birds were caught today.
Icterine warbler (Gulbug)- 20
Marsh Warbler (Kærsanger) - 7
Willow Warbler (Løvsanger) - 6
Blackbird (Solsort) - 5
Lesser Whitethroat (Gærdesanger) - 5
Whitethroat (Tornsanger) - 4
Greenfinch (Grønirisk)- 2
Redstart (Rødstjert) - 2
Singles of Thrush Nightingale (Nattergal), Blackcap (Munk), Chiffchaff (Gransanger), FIRECREST (Rødtoppet Fuglekonge), Pied Flycatcher(Broget Fluesnapper) and Linnet (Tornirisk)
We also recaptured the River Warbler (Flodsanger) first ringed a few days ago.
Below are pictures of Heidi, happy after ringing her first Firecrest and also, the River Warbler.
Migration was evident over the garden today and we counted 30+ Crossbills (though many more were too high to count), 4 Yellow Wagtails, 3 Siskin, 2 Tree Pipit and 1 Honey Buzzard.
Anders' father Brian and friend Terkel were here for a second day, we enjoyed a barbeque and a 'sundown' in the cool evening sun. Another fine day to be working here at Gedser.
*In case you are a ringer reading this, Gedser Fuglestation still has an available spot for a Ringer-in-charge this Autumn. It's a paid position and having spent 2 autumns down here myself I can certainly recommend it. If you are interested please contact Rune Tjørnløv.

Nye havemænd
Vi stod op til en stille morgen her på stationen. Vinden kom let fra sydvest, og vi havde en stille dag i vente. Vi holdt alligevel nettene åbne til klokken 12.30 - eller drengene gjorde, for jeg faldt i søvn på sofaen. 12.30 måtte de også have en lur, og jeg fik ordnet lidt i huset i mellemtiden.
Vi åbnede nettene igen klokken 16.00 da begge drenge var stået op. Mens nettene var åbne fik vi ordnet lidt foran vores ringmærkningsskur, hvor der skulle samles lidt haveaffald sammen. Vi lukkede først nettene kl. 19.30 i dag, der var ikke mange fugle de sidste timer, men lidt havde vi da. Vi nåede op på at have nettene åbne 11 timer fordelt på dagen og vi nåede da at mærke 54 nye fugle.
De sjoveste ting vi har haft i hænderne i dag har nok været en ung Rødstjert og sæsonens første unge Sivsanger, samt endnu en Nattergal.

Welcome back Craig!
Her til aften ankom Brian, Anders' far, og Terkel, som skal være her til på lørdag eller søndag. De skal hjælpe til med kratrydning og andet havearbejde. Det er dejligt med ekstra hænder! Specielt når den standardiserede mærkning er igang. Det mest spændende på obsfronten blev i dag til 85 Lille Korsnæb, 6 Rødrygget Tornskade (i samme busk), 1 Rørhøg og to sydtrækkende flokke af sortænder.
I morgen spår DMI at vi skal få vind fra sydøst og øst, og det skal bringe lidt varme herop. Vi håber på, at det måske også vil bringe en sjov og måske lidt sjælden fugl med. Det siges i hvert fald, at det er med den vind de sjældnere fugle kommer, så vi håber!
