Nattergal og Almindelig Tigerspinder

Morning observations:

This morning was again really slow. We started off with quite some migrating Common terns “Fjordterne”, but as time went on, migration decreased. In the last time interval, we got 120 Common scoters “Sortand”, which is very low. The migration season is coming to an end. Thomas and I did have a good chat, so despite the slow migration, it was a nice morning.

Todays observations can be seen here.

The ringing:

It was a slow morning with more walking than work at the nets or in the lab. But there was also a surprise in the net, we caught a Thrush Nightingale “Nattergal”.

At nine a german family came to the station who wished to see the ringing. They were lucky, I had some birds and could show them a Wren “Gærdesmutte”, two Chaffinches “Bogfinke” a Chiffchaff “Gransanger” and explained about ringing and the activities of the station.

The moths:

Not many moths today but I had one new for the season, Spilosoma lubricipeda “Almindelig tigerspinder”.
