The day started as predicted. Lot of wind and rain. So no nets open, only after 13.00 hours I opened a few nets and caught in total 8 birds: one new and 7 recaptures (see table). I checked all the nets whether they were opening easy to prevent surprises in the morning when I open the nets in the dark. I try not to use any light so early in the garden. Maybe a wrong idea, but I think you scare away the birds when doing so.

I got today just before writing this blog a mail that a chiffchaff ringed by me on the tenth of september last year here in Gedser Fuglestation was fround dead near Santander in Spain on the 24th of april this year. A pity that its live ended there. Maybe the bird was on its way back to Denmark.

I think I can open all nets tomorrow, weather forecast is much better than the last few days.

Let see what the new day will bring.

With kind regards  Robert
