As expected we have caught less than yesterday. Often new birds arrive after a weather change and than the next day you will catch less and the day after even more less. Lets hope the rule is not always true. We had in total 80 birds (70 new ones and 10 recaptures) and in total 20 different species. Once again we had a little Rødtoppet Fuglekonge/Firecrest (number 65 for this year) and the third Rødrygget Tornskade/Red-backed Shrike for 2018. The Willow Warbler was the main attraction of  the day, in total 27 birds. 

But there was one bird that made me really happy, I had my first Nattergal/Thrush Nightingale in the hand (see picture). You would perhaps think how is that possible that he has never had a Nattergal in his hand. I just did not catch one in Denmark and in the Netherlands the Thrush Nightingale is a more rare species and I was just never lucky. Clausjannic saw the bird hanging in the net and he called me. He did know that I had never caught this species and was so friendly to give me the honors.

Two times the Nattergal/Thrush Nightingale, a happy ringer and one Tornirisk/Linnet just because it is such a nice bird.
