Autum or not?

tirsdag 4. maj 2021
af Robert Luttik

A not so warm day with a lot of wind, but wind from the south is not so bad in the garden. So I opende most of the nets. The rain was not a real problem overhere, some drops but not so much that I had to close the nets.Later in the afternoon I had hail and rain and the wind was increasing.

I  caught 29 birds (16 new and 13 recaptures).

The highlight of the day for me was the Firecrest (Rødtoppet Fuglekonge). The first one in the hand this year. I five year ringing in Gjerrild no Firecrest till now, maybe in the near future. Just have to wait.

The forecast for tomorrow is even worst than it was for today. The wind was blowing 10 to 11 m/s and tomorrow this will be 15 meters per second. But rain isonly  expected in the afternoon, so will open a few nets and see what happens.

With kind regards
