First three
This day enchanted us with sunny weather and cloudless sky. Although in terms of catching birds it wasn't the best weather, it managed to bring us two Wrynecks, a Firecrest and a Ring Ouzel, what was a really nice surprise. Today we ringed 25 birds. The most interesting birds that Mikkel saw, were 2 Arctic Skuas. After 11 am me and Maciej tried to see at least half of what Mikkel observed, but we sighted only Sandwich Terns, some Gulls (eg. Black-Headed Gulls). Today we also had a visitor - Erik Schaumburg, who came here to see the Wrynecks. I hope that he had a lot of luck and it was a successful "hunt". Today we also welcomed Signe in the station! In the evening we tried to observe a Bluethroat but it did not show up for us. Instead, we had opportunity to sight our first Gannet and a lot of other passerines.
