More and more juveniles birds !

This morning, Martina and me went out ringing at Kabeltromlen. The weather was very nice, warm and sunny, as it should be in summer ! We were unsure about how good the day will be for catching birds but we ended up having some nice species in the nets. We caught a female Bullfinch (Dompap Lille) as well as one juvenile and one adult male Reed Bunting (Rørspurv).

And on our last round, we were lucky and caught a juvenile Grey Wagtail (Bjergvipstjert) !

We also got juveniles Common Whitethroat (Tornsanger), Great tit (Musvit), Crested tit (Topmejse). Soon we should see some Blackcaps’ (Munk) hatchlings in the nets !

While Martina and I were doing the net checks, Simon and Frederik showed to Pernille’s class how the ringing works via the phone. Frederik ringed a Chiffchaff (Gransanger) in front of the pupils which seemed to be very interested !

In the afternoon, we set up a trap for moth that we will try overnight. We’re looking forward to see what we catch there tomorrow.

This evening, we are going out trying to catch nightjars with Lars Bo. This should be an exciting night outdoors ! More on this tomorrow in the blog!
