While today definitely didn't bring anything comparable to yesterday's Barred Warbler (Høgesanger), it was still a nice laid back day of ringing. 

Bent and I opened nets in time for the standard 6:15 net run (during my last few days its been crazy realizing how much later we can open nets now compared to opening at 4:45 earlier in the season) and enjoyed some nice breakfast before it was time to check nets. During one of our first runs, we caught a pair of Blackcap (Munk) which made for a nice comparison between both sexes.  

Although it isn't a suprising catch, seeing these really obvious moult limits in 1K male Redstarts (Rødstjert) are always super satisfying. 

The highlight of the morning was a recap Goldcrest (Fuglekonge) which was my second time having one in hand.  It's really crazy how tiny they are, it was only a little larger than the hummingbirds we catch in the states! 

The rest of my day was primarily devoted to entering data and packing.  Louis and Joseph returned rather early, the obs were very slow today.  They did have a Great Spotted Woodpecker (Stor Flagspætte) which was a nice suprise.  

Hopefully tomorrow will be a nice final send off for me, but it was nice having a slow day after such an insane one yesterday.
