Long-tailed cuties and Short-tailed snails

Today we were divided into two teems: Robbie, Angela, Georges, and I, went ringing and Rosalina went observing with Knud. It was not a busy day for both: we caught 28 birds and the migrating birds were not numerous. The highlight of this morning was the flock of Long-tailed Tits (Halemejse) including one europaeus, and a Treecreeper (Træløber).

Today was also a record for migrating Whooper Swans (Sangsvane)!: around 530 were observed coming from Syberian lakes.

After lunch, we all went collecting snails on the beach next to the lighthouse. The goal is to analyze the toxicity level of the water throughout these filter-feeding gasteropod which concentrate the toxic molecule.
