Today was much the same as yesterday – a beautiful autumn day with very few birds in the nets. The birds we caught were all the usuals, but always nice to see. We did, however, catch a very handsome 2k+ male blåmejse (blue tit) with a ring from Lithuania! We aren’t really sure why it has ended up here from Lithuania – it doesn’t seem like a very logical route, but who are we to judge?!

We took advantage of the lack of birds this afternoon to go for a run in the light along the coast. It was such a gorgeous crisp day, and the sea was like a mill pond. We paused at the point where we were going to turn around and head back, and while we were taking a moment to enjoy the view a porpoise emerged from below the waves for a few breaths. We assume it was a harbour porpoise as there aren’t many marine mammal species in the Baltic Sea and the other three are seals. It’s always a good day when it includes a porpoise.

Not much else to add, so I’ll leave you to enjoy the data, which as always are included below.

Cheers!
