Again a Red-breasted Flycatcher
Today we had expected to catch many birds, because there was a change in the weather, which is normally resulting in an influx of new birds. We caught 13 species and in total 33 birds (31 new one and 2 recaptures). In the first round we saw a Nightjar (Natraven) bouncing back out of the net. That was a pity because it would have been for both of us a new hand species. I was the lucky one today. In the last round I found an Icterine Warbler (a bit late in the season) and the second Red-breasted Flycatcher (Lille Fluesnapper) of the week.
Today Søren Mygind had to go home and two days ago Adam Qvist already went back to Berlin. So, I will be the only ringer this week till the weekend. But luckily, I have a very good backup in case I have too many birds. Hans will be available to help me out when that is necessary.
Below you will find the table with the species caught nd a picture of a Sparrowhawk (Spurvehøg) and the Red-breasted Flycatcher (Lille Fluesnapper).
