Rørsanger og Kærsanger

The ringing:

In the I woke up for normal opening time and went through the garden, but it was very windy and I decided not to open the nets. I hoped the wind would slow down within an hour, if so, it would still have been a day of standardized ringing, but at 5.15 it was as windy as before. Lise had come down too. I took the moth out of the traps, I was surprised that I had caught a few in that rainy and windy night, and stayed downstairs a little longer to identify and release them. Then it was time for bed again. At ten I started opening the nets, the wind had slowed down. Emma and Lise joined me on the rounds. Bent, John Frikke and Henrik had a meeting with Peder Bach Thøgersen from Naturstyerlsen and we caught enough birds to show him some.
