The day started with fog and there were hardly any birds flying. First round we had no birds second round 1 and in the third round 2. In total we caught 20 birds (14 new ones and 6 recaptures). Nets were open till 15.00 hours. So not much work. At the end of the morning we were surprised when a Karmindompap was flying into the net. It was a second year female. It is not a real rare bird, but nevertheless it was the first of the season. Further there is hardly anything to tell.

Although, we had a roe deer in the garden and luckely not in the nets. A White-tailed Eagle was sitting in the field a little bit in the direction of Gedser and a Crane was flying over.

Late addition. Caught at little lake one Engpiber/Meadow Pipit, so total is now 21.

Hope tomorrow will bring more birds.
