TV stars of tomorrow at Blåvand?

Observations:

Ringing:
We awoke today with hearts filled with hope and supplemented with coffee. The wind was direct eastern and with only 3m/s we rushed out to open every single net for maybe the first time since I've joined the station. Sadly the birds didn't join in the hype and mostly stayed away. We ringed/read a total of 17 birds across 11 species from 4:57 - 16:49. Highlights included a very photogenic Lesser Whitethroat (Curruca curruca), a juvenile Eurasian Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla) with the same affinity for the lense, and a Common Whitethroat (Curruca communis) that was first ringed in 2022.

In the "extracurricular activities" coloumn we attempted a twitch of the Great-tailed Grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus) which was spotted in Esbjerg. After dipping the yankee, we returned and and got a visit from Tv2Syd. If you want to see the volunteers on the screen you can tune in tonight at 19:30 :)
