Bearded tits continue

The ringing was a little slow but we continued to have a few Bearded tits (skægmejse), Simon believes this to be the best season for bearded tits in the nets, which is encouraging news for this stunning species. Whilst out at ringing the team also saw some overflying Golden Plovers and Woodlark.

Michael had a good day at Jennes Sø, especially with many Lesser Redpolls and a rare recapture of a Wren (Gærdesmutte) with Norwegian ring!

I was out observing today, the numbers were quite low for most species but we continue to have some Barn Swallows and a singular Sand Martin roasting in the area. We also saw 2 jacksnipes and 3 waterpipits on the way back from observations.

Anders has arrived from Aalborg today for the weekend, we hope he gets to see some rarities whilst he is he.
