3 foreign recaptures today!

Last night, Simon, Laila and I went out to Grenen Sø and some other places to try and catch some Jack Snipes (Enkeltbekkasin), Lapland Buntings (Lapland Longspur) and a Pink-footed Goose (Kortnæbbet Gås). We didn’t catch the birds, but we had lots of fun and saw some deer and this cute hedgehog on our way.

In the morning we had to wake up early again, but it was worth it. Already before the first round we had the feeling that it will be a busy day and started ringing even before sunrise.

We were happy to catch three foreign recaptures today!

Blackcap (Munk) from Stravanger, Norway:

Robin (Rødhals) from Stravanger, Norway:

Goldcrest (Fuglekonge) from Stockholm, Sweden (Picture: Jørgen Kabel):

It was good to have some friends at the ringing station: We were glad Jørgen and Laila could help us at writing today. Oluf, as always was helping us a lot for extracting and ringing so many birds today. Kirsten is also looking forward to this week and hopefully she can practise a lot of handling and extracting of birds.

Igor was also here and as usual in the spotlight at the ringing station :) after the birds, of course…

Isn’t he just the best?
