Leach´s storm petrel and Black scoter on the sea!

Morning observations:

This morning was the last day of the spring migration season. We were with quite some people; Levi, Thomas, Emma, Henrik and I. We had a nice time with all of us! We even had some new species for the season, a Black scoter “amerikansk sortand” and a Leach’s storm petrel “stor stormsvale”. It was a good day to end the season with :)

Today´s observations can be seen here.

The ringing:

Some more birds than yesterday in the nets today. Some more 1Ks, two Tree Sparrows „Skovspurv“, one Dunnock „Jernspurv“ and one Crested Tit „Topmejse“.

The moths:

Eleven different moths today, Noctua pronuba „Stor smutugle“ and Phalera bucephala „Måneplet” were new for the season. These are quite common ones, but especially bucephala is really nice.
