Lige lovlig nedsat sigt

Observations:

En vejrmæssigt flot dag, men fuglemæssigt ret stille, specielt de mange byger som kom rullende ind over hukket og nedsatte sigten markant, gjorde det lidt mere besværligt at se fuglene…

Der kom dog lidt Stære som nok var højdepunktet/’rne i dag, det var dog mest i starten af morgenen de kom og det gik derefter ret meget ned ad bakke..

Vi kom op på 3445, hvilket er fint.. men der måtte godt lige have været et 0 mere..;)

Udover Stærene var det minimalt med bevægelser..

Der kom på et tidspunkt 3 Store Skallesluger hanner sammen, hvilket ikke er helt hverdagskost på hukket, men så er det heller ikke vildere end det, det er blot “dejligt”..

Ringing:

The opening was postponed a little today, because of rain. Chung-Chi opened the station garden and I did the lighthouse garden. She already had some Blackbirds “Solsort” just after opening, while it stayed rather quiet in the lighthouse garden. Half of our birds caught today were Blackbirds “Solsort”. We had some interesting recaptures, I took the first-year male Sparrowhawk “Spurvehøg”, that I had ringed a week ago out of the net again, it had gained 0,3 gramms – pretty stable in its weight. It is the claws, not the bill, that can hurt in Sparrowhawks “Spurvehøg” and knowing that, the legs are the first thing I need to control. All the last birds I had did not get me, also not this, but it tried to use its bill instead, as I held its legs tight. So I got a little nip of the Sparrowhawk “Spurvehøg” today, but no, this did not hurt and did not help it. There was another interesting recapture, a Wren “Gærdesmutte”, that Anton had ringed last year. But all in all, a rather quiet ringing day…
