Rødrygget Tornskade og Bysvale

Morning observations:

Today it was the three of us again at the obs, Thomas, Levi and I. Since the migration season for the spring is coming to an end, we want to be there as much as possible these days. The migration was really slow, but we did see quite some Barn swallows “landsvale” migrating and resting! Other than that, it wasn’t really different than the other days.

Todays observations can be seen here.

The ringing:

Again not many birds today. Two were very niche though and I could show them to the others: A female Red-backed Shrike “Rødrygget Tornskade” and a House Martin ”Bysvale”.

The moths:

I was catching only with one trap tonight as I unfortunately forgot to plug in the other one after having it inside because of yesterday´s rain. But still I had a quite good number of moths.
