Birds Near and Far

Monday, 27 May at Blåvand Fuglestation started slowly. Precipitation overnight and a damp, overcast morning set the scene for a nearly fruitless session of ringing. 

Most captures were controls, though Morten did ring a family of greenfinches. 

When there isn't much ringing to be done, our attentions are drawn to other activities such as observations.

A House Sparrow near the station where Tree Sparrows reign was a nice departure from the norm. 

Some Red-throated Divers as part of the tail end of migration.

A Glaucos Gull spotted on the beach.
