It gets better every day

This morning started again with ringing at Grenen. And it`s pretty cool when you compare the handling of the routines – like finding and checking all the nets (that`s actually not that easy, it`s like a labyrinth out there!), extracting the birds from the nets, ringing them etc. – at the first day of ringing and the handling now, because we`ve already learned so much in these few days and we`re improving every time. Furthermore, Simon led a guided tour again with nice visitors from England to the ringing spot.

In the afternoon, I went for a walk on the beach and found a lot of nice seashells and -snails. Especially, I`m happy about the many pelican`s foot I`ve found, because in Germany they`re much harder to find – to be honest, I`ve never found one there, and today I collected more than twenty!

 In the coming days, it should become windier and I hope, the wind will lead nice birds into the Kattegat and more shells to the beach.

Altogether, we ringed 27 birds: 6 Great Tits (Musvit), 4 Coal Tits (Sortmejse), 3 Blue Tits (Blåmejse), 2 Dunnocks (Jernspurv), 2 Chiffchaffs (Gransanger), 1 Willow Warbler (Løvsanger), 1 Pied Flycatcher (Broget Fluesnapper), 1 Reed Warbler (Rørsanger) and 1 Reed Bunting (Rørspurv).
