One Firecrest, two Goldcrests and new reading material for the Bird Observatory

Today, we had some nice guests, both birds and people. First of all, we were happy to see Ulf, a former volunteer with his daughter at the bird station. We were even more pleased, that we could soon show them a Firecrest. There were also two Goldcrests in the nets. Hopefully, more of them will visit us this autumn!

When Jonas and I went inside for a little break from ringing, we met Sven Bædker, who gave two promising books to the bird observatory and also brought cake for us hungry people. Many thanks, Sven!

 

Bent, Henrik and David were observing today.

 

We are curious to see what awaits us tomorrow. See you then!
