The last day of week 42

The ringing:

Today no wind and rain, so nets stayed open the 5 standard hours, but we were not very successful, we ringed 9 new birds. In the last rounds, we were joined by Menno, who had just arrived at the station and will stay with us for two weeks. Bent told me, there were many Blackbirds “Solsort” in Oksbøl, but we did not get them in the nets here, just three recaptures. Maybe one of the next days.

All our guests who stayed here for week 42 left today, therefore, another volunteer, who we know already, arrived today, Lærke, who was already here in September. She too will stay here for two weeks.

The moths:

This night was rainy and windier again. I did not expect so much, nevertheless, I checked in the evening and found two moths, Alucita hexadactyla “Kaprifoliefjermøl” and Emmelina monodactyla “Snerlefjermøl”. In the morning, I found one more, Phlogophora meticulosa “Agatugle”. That was it, not much. This night will be windy again, but less wind the night after…

Observations:

En ret diset morgen på hukket, som også endte ud med lidt dryp fra oven.. ..og selvom målingerne sagde over 12 grader, virkede det ualmindeligt koldt pga. den tiltagende vind og fugtige vejr..

Som vanligt kom en hel del Sortænder, over 3500 blev det faktisk til.. men ellers var det godt nok til den stille side, specielt da småfuglenene var tæt på ikke eksisterende..

Det var tilgengæld en af de første dage hvor man fik fornemmelse af rigtigt træk af Dværgmåger, 30 blev det til, hvilket personligt reddede dagen fuldstændigt!

Der kom også et par Rider forbi, 6 stks.

At the station: Lærke, Louis, Menno, David, Chung-Chi, Hanelie and 5 guests
