A very sunny day

Today we had 2 visitors from Germany over which joined us on the ringing rounds. It was very sunny today, with nearly no clouds covering the sky. We captured a variety of species, quite a lot of Robins (17) and a new Willow Warbler.

During the day, the first (female) Common Redstart of this season was seen by Bello in the bog. Also he saw 1 Blue Throat and 2 male Ring Ouzels. We hope that in the next few days one of this species will be caught in our nets.

On the seawatch the numbers were not that high, but Bello saw the first Osprey in Blåvand this season.
