The first Red-breasted Flycatcher / Lille Fluesnapper of the year

søndag 8. maj 2022
af Robert Lutik
The day started with darkness in the ringing cabin, so still some problems with assessing the fat condition of the birds. But this problem has been solved by Gert.

Today the last day of Henrik and we had some help of Benjamin. In total 43 bird of which 3 recaptures.

The highlight of the day was the first Lille Fluesnapper / Red-breasted Flycatcher of the year. Had no red breast, but you can not have them all. And Henrick and me gave the bird to Benjamin and made him a happy man. See picture of below.

And the two moths of the day are a Poppelugle (Poplar Grey) see left picture and on the right a Grå Tigerspinder (Muslin Moth). They are common species but it is to give you a taste of the variation among the moths.
