March weather

So far, spring has always only been a short guest at Blåvand.

Looking at the forecast yesterday, we were expecting at least a dry day, okay to have the nets open the standard five hours. But it turned out different. The morning was punctuated by showers, some light but others quite heavy. A few nets, particularly in the Leutturm garden, had to remain closed due to the wind. Unfortunately, we couldn’t carry out our usual routine in this weather, and although the Songthrush "Sangdrossel" was singing all day, there was very little activity; we each managed to ring one bird – a Robin "Rødhals" for Paula and a Blackbird "Solsort" for me.

Rødhals 1/0

Solsort 1/0
