Ringing: Today we had a group of about 15 people that visited the bird station, but Hans had a difficult job to entertain the visitors with hardly a bird to show. But he did his job in a good way. Showing them around and telling what would happen if a bird was flying into the net. They came at 9 o'clock and on a day with hardly birds that is not such a good time to start an excursion, we could only show them one bird.

Trækket på Odden: Vejret mindede i høj grad om gårsdagens, bortset fra at vinden i dag kom fra vest, og at der faldt lidt støvregn i løbet af obsperioden. Lidt over 1100 bramgæs (Branta leucopsis) blev set trækkende mod øst, og 10 almindelige ryler (Calidris alpina) trak mod vest.

Omtrent 25 minutter før obsens afslutning passerede en sort glente (Milvus migrans) hen over havet mod sydøst - så det var fedt! Kort efter trak også to røde glenter (Milvus milvus) ud, men fortrød og vendte tilbage igen. I fagsprog kaldes det trækforsøgende fugle.

En enkelt hun af husrødstjert (Phoenicurus ochruros) rastede også ude på Odden her til morgen og har faktisk opholdt sig der i et par uger nu.

Moths

Additional to the bird data some information on the moths we have caught during the night. As with the bird not many species (see table) and not many individuals.

I was told that sometimes there is too much information about moths in the blog and that Gedser Fuglestation is a bird station which is the most important thing. I agree, but for me (Robert) Gedser Fuglestation is not only birds, but also all the other biological interactions. I have now put the moth information at the end of the blog which allows people to stop reading after the bird information without to have to scroll through the moths.
