Autumn ringing on a summer day

Amelie and Lisa got up early today to open the mist nets at Kabeltromlen at 5:00, so Amandine, Simon, Kirsten and me were happy to join later for the first control.

Amelie ringed her first bird today supervised by Simon - a Blackcap (Munk). Well done!

After some rainy days the last week, today was a warm and sunny summer day with low wind speed! During the morning, there was also time for teaching, explaining and calibrating the ringers.

It is not always easy to differentiate sibling species such as Reed and Marsh Warbler (Rørsanger og Kærsanger), and some species are difficult to age and we had a closer look at several moult limits. If you want to read more about ageing Pied Flycatchers (Broget Fluesnapper), you might visit our facebook page.

Furthermore, we caught the first Red-backed Shrike (Rødrygget Tornskade) for this autumn season!
