No ducks in the trap

After leaving the duck trap all night i woke up even earlier than usual and had to go and check the trap before going to ringing. in this time Michael and Koen went to open the up the nets at Kabeltroumell. I walked to the lake and saw that we didn’t had enough luck to catch a duck and went to the ringing area to also try the Quail nets that Simon recently got for the station. Also didn’t have luck with these…. Also the ringing was very slow with fewer birds than usual.

A nice second year Jernspurv. the very most of them that we catch are first year so far we only had 2-3 Adult birds in this Autumn

After the very long morning for me, going from place to place and doing a lot of stuff we came back to the station and had a power nap so we will be fresh for cleaning. We had a very quick cleaning day, very nice to have 6 people cleaning around and it is also much faster.

After the cleaning we got a call that someone found a kingfisher pretty close to station so we maybe will go and try to ring it, but we all were too busy and didn’t had enough time for that today, maybe if he will stay for tomorrow….

After that we all had a nice time together having dinner and usual routine in the station.

We also received a nice text that our neighbors wrote about the week they had here and what they have experienced living in the station for a week so u we can share it.
