The ringing:

Yesterday, there was a bit of a personal change at the bird observatory, Henrik left and Robert and I arrived in Gedser. This morning when we opened the nets, we did not here so many birds and it was a rather slow morning with 24 new birds. Ella joined us from first round and ringed her first birds at the station.

Willow Warbler "Løvsanger".

The garden looks very pretty with all the white blooming trees, but the weather was too good for more birds to come. We are hoping the number of  birds and species will increase the coming days.

Moths caught at Gedser

As some of you maybe know Hanelie and myself we are often catching moths and when we are in Gedser we certainly try to catch moths. Gedser Fuglestation is a very good place to catch and later in the season we also have a bigger chance of catching migrants from the south. This night we had 19 species (see Table).

WE had two species that were relatively rare the Many-Lined Moth and the Pine Beauty and i addition I have added a more common moth but nevertheless a beautiful one: the Chocolate-tip (Danish names are in the Table).
