Two beautiful Starlings

The ringing:

The morning started a bit foggy but later, it cleared up. But the sun had problems coming through the clouds and the sky stayed grey all morning. I did not have many birds, highlights were two Starlings “Stær”, that were in the net in the second round. Thet are usually in the garden calling from the tree next two the lab, but do not go in the net very often. Maybe the fog helped.

A Siskin “Grønsisken” was also, as always, very cute.

The moths (and a beetle):

Just one moth in the trap this morning, it was again Xylocampa areola “Gedeblad-ugle”. On one of the house walls outside, I found the larval case of Taleporia tubulosa “Cigarsækbærer”. When I went to the trap in lighthouse garden at dusk, I found the Great Diving Beetle, Dytiscus marginalis “Stor vandkalv”.
