Ringmærkningen : Vi fik vejrskiftet: overskyet og teperatur hele døgnet, med ca 10 grader. Der kom lidt gang i trækket. Specielt Gærdesanager(lesser Whitetroat) og TornsangerCommen Whithetroat).

Trækket på Odden : Due to some informatical issues, we were missing some information from the tip for yesterday. Here they are :

It will probably not be a day we remember forever, but it was still good to get out after a week of work. The Common Whitethroat (Tornsanger), made famous by previous blog posts here, had a friend visiting today — and that individual carried a brand-new shiny leg ring. Another visitor at the tip today was also ringed, although this was a rather old — or perhaps just dirty — ring. The bird carrying it was a male Yellow Wagtail (Gul vipstjert) of the subspecies flava. We only managed to read part of the ring number: ...84... Tomorrow will be better in every way.

And now, about today :

Another very quiet day at the tip. A day we had anticipated to be a more enjoyable in terms of numbers. But a single bird at 05:36AM lifted the spirit for the rest of the count – a European Bee-eater (Biæder) decided that its visit in Denmark was over and headed southwards.

The Common Whitethroat (Tornsanger) kept the observer at his toes the rest of the days with incorporating the call from the Bee-eater thought out the count period. Never a dull day at the tip.

The Common Whitethroat caught red-handed imitating the Bee-eater. Picture by Louis A. Hansen.
