Today, Henrik, Henrik and Jimmy went out for seabird migration while Bent and me stayed at the station and ringed birds. The "seawatch-trio" did not find any highlights, but had a nice day with a few species that have not been spotted everyday, for example two Peregrine Falcons, at least two Caspian Gulls and a Yellow Legged Gull (1cy). 

Ringing as well, may not have been a special day for most people, but I had my first juvenile Redpoll in the hand, which was a welcome surprise for me, when I took it out of the net (which is why I share a record shot of this bird with you today). We also caught a Goldcrest and a Robin, so Autumn is coming, but the most frequent species today was Garden Warbler. We had a little over 20 birds but I enjoyed ringing again very much and the species-variation was satisfying too :). 

Ringmærkning: Dunnock (3), Robin (1), Common Redstart (1), Song Thrush (2), Common Whitethroat (1), garden Warbler (6), Blackcap (1), Chiffchaff (1), Goldcrest (1), Pied Flycatcher (1), Redpoll (1), Bullfinch (2). In total: 21 birds of 12 species.

As the weather was not too good during the day, we spent most of our time inside (I started sorting my pictures, because the amount of work is getting bigger every day). In The evening, Henrik K, Jimmy and I were invited for a lovely, selfmade dinner from our new guest at the station (thx again), which gave us a nice opportunity to have a little chat about anything and everything. We hope the weather stays dry in the morning tomorrow, let's see,
