Trækket på Odden var ikke imponerende: de største tal stod Sortand/ Black Scooter (330) for sammen med Landsvale / Swallow (200) og Bogfinke / Chaffinch (300).

Migration Blues

September’s newly ringed birds are compared between last year and this year (See graph).

For the most part, both years reflect each other at least until 14 September. But this year, from the 7^th to the 11^th we almost discovered the abyss of the Marianna Trench The 10^th, 13^th, and 16^th represents an off phase oscillation. What it means is anyone’s guess. With missing data and weather data not at the finger tips for 2017 it is impossible to compare. Thereafter numbers of netted birds increased reaching the ultimate peak of 358 netted birds on the 18^th . What happened?

This year we just managed to bump along, our nets sitting essentially empty, waving to the birds flying overhead. We did everything within our power short of the mystic Canadian rain dance that appears not to work in Denmark. But do blame our lack lust performance on the wind or more generally, on atmospheric conditions of the day.

Vi havde i dag besøg af 3 Nøddekriger, der kredsede over haven en tid og samtidig havde vi også besøg af Lars Peter Bærendsen fra Næstved. Han var kommet for at fotografere Duehaler i vores sommerfuglebusk.

Vi var så heldige at han fik taget et foto af den ene Nøddekrige og heldigvis også fik Duehalen i kassen.
