Ringing all day long

After having a long but also wonderful day yesterday with more than 200 birds, the motivation was high to get up early and open the nets. Unfortunately, a long morning rain shower prevented us from starting with the sunrise, but when the rain stopped, Martin and Christina quickly went to open the nets.

Simon, Kirsten, Laila and I then joined them for the first round, and we had another good ringing day, only affected by a few short rain showers. Christina, Martin and I worked on extracting and ringing the birds as quickly and efficiently as possible, but we were glad that Simon was able to give us a hand.

Although there were fewer birds than yesterday, we still had a lot to do. Among other things, we had a Yellow-browed Warbler (Hvidbrynet Løvsanger) that surprised us from a birdbox full of Goldcrests (Fuglekonge)!

Once again, we were very happy that we had such great helpers, who supported us especially in writing down the data. Kirsten also had a great day and was very happy that she could ring a few birds. Extracting and handling the birds is becoming easier and easier for her.

We hope for a few more of these long but rewarding days that are worth giving up a little sleep.
