Bunker biodiversity

As all the last mornings (when ringing was possible) Jonas and I opened one garden each. But today, Jonas left to one last morning obs while I stayed in the gardens. 

There was not much going on on the sea...

Also in the gardens it was rather quiet. I ringed five new Blackbirds and recaptured two.

A pretty 2K+ male

After the nets in the station garden were closed, we went to the lighthouse garden to put the nets down over winter... We were quite fast and effective. The nets in the station garden will probably stay during winter, Bent will do some work here and ring a bit.

After all work was done, we were quite curios about the inside of the bunker which you can see in the background of most bird pictures that are taken in the lighthouse garden.There is not so much that you can access, but I made an interesting discouvery: Besides mosquitos and spiders, there were many moth in the bunker. Just two species though, Alucita hexadactyla "Kaprifoliefjermøl" and Scoliopterix libatrix "Husmoderugle". The latter was new for me.

Now I got curios and wanted to explore some more Bunkers. I took three that are on the way through the bog to Sabine bunker.

And was amazed how many moth I found. But it remained just these two species.

The reflection of the clouds at sunset on my walk back at the beach was quite beautiful.
