Many birds, and first Spotted Flycatcher of the season
tirsdag 19. maj 2026
Ringing:
Today I had the pleasure of ringing with Bent, who came to help me out with the number of birds increasing a little bit in the past couple of days. We had to open nets later than standard time as it was raining in the morning, but our ringing session still yielded a very good amount of birds, 37 in total! The best day for me since I arrived, and the fact we were two made it a lot more relaxed and calm than if I had been alone. Thank you Bent!
A highlight for today is the first Spotted Flycatcher (Grå Fluesnapper) of the season!
First Spotted Flycatcher (Grå Fluesnapper) of the season!
I have been catching more and more birds showing extensive brood patches, which is really sweet to see. The season is in full bloom, for birds and plants!
Tomorrow looks to be rainy unfortunately, so I will see how to deal with the ringing, if I can open nets at all. After two more intense days I wouldn’t mind a morning of sleeping in ahaha ????
Ringing totals for today:
Rødhals (Robin): 1
Gærdesanger (Lesser Whitethroat): 3
Tornsanger (Common Whitethroat): 4
Havesanger (Garden Warbler): 8
Gransanger (Chiffchaff): 10
Løvsanger (Willow Warbler): 4/2
Grå Fluesnapper (Spotted Flycatcher): 1
Bogfinke (Chaffinch): 2/1
Stillits (Goldfinch): 1
Total: 34/3
Little tern project:
Today was another slow day for the Little Tern project. During today’s observation, four little terns were spotted, none of which landed in the fence. In addition, three to five common ringed plovers were seen in the fence, though they did not exhibit any nesting or scraping behavior.
At the station: Alix Bortolussi, Bent Jakobsen & Jorn de Jong
