Observations : 

Todays observations can be seen here. 

Ringing : 

When I went out this morning to open the nets, I was freezing: It was only 3 degrees! Luckily, it heated up soon as it was a sunny day from the early morning on. Sunny days often do not bring so many birds, but it was better than expected. I was happy about two new Redstarts “Rødstjert” and a Firecrest “Rødtoppet Fuglekonge” that I found in the nets.
