A quiet day

Morning Observations:

Marit, Levi, Henrik and I chose to do the second-to-last observation of the season at the autumn spot, as the wind direction suggested we might get something interesting coming from the south. However, migration was rather slow today, but highlights included Arctic Skua “Almindelig kjove”, Caspian Gull “Kaspisk måge”, and Pochard “Taffeland”.

Todays observations can be seen here.

The ringing:

The morning was quite long today, some nets needed to stay closed due to wind and not many passerines were flying. In total just two new birds ringed today. Anders Zuschlag came to have a look at the database and take a backup.

The moths:

Only two moths today Cerura vinula "Hermelinskåbe" and Phlogophora meticulosa "Agatugle", the conditions during the night were not perfect, I hope it will be better tonight.
