After three days with over 120 birds, today it slowed down a bit, but it was still a nice day with 72 birds ringed. In July, 72 birds felt very busy, but I guess, being ringing everyday for the last 64 days in a row makes a difference.

No surprises today in the nets, well, if we do not count a sparrowhawk meal in the net, that my sweet collegues had put in a bag for me to "ring" saying: "oh!! we have a big surprise for you, you should ring it!". I put my hand inside the bag only to touch something very different, very quiet and a weird texture... I took it out to find that it was a dead mouse (!) that sadly, a sparrowhawk lost in the net before escaping (we did not ring any sparrowhawks today - at least 5 flew away before we got them).

The weather was beautiful, much warmer than the last few days, so we could enjoy some time outside: birdwatching at the tip, reading, collecting apples from the garden and walking to Gedser to get some food supplies.

Also, Vibeke brought us two bottles of local apple juice, corn, apples and pears! Delicious! Thanks a lot again!

Gedser Fuglestation is a great place! Not only for the birds but also because of the people.

Best!
