Big and small
After the stormy wind, we could open again our nets this monday. The weather was incredibly quiet with almost no wind at all.
There seem to be a lot of blackbirds and trushes around again. And we did get some indeed. Like many David and Goliath, we have had a good amount of goldcrests and blackbirds.
We were not overwhelmed by the birds but we got two species we were relly happy to see.
First, another David, even if it is a bit bigger than a goldcrest. The treecreeper that the French get in Brittany is the other species, the short toed. This Danish one is much more white with a wide eyebrow. It makes them look a bit grumpy but there are really beautifull.
The other species, this time more a Goliath, is the first Fieldfaire of the automn season. Where we ring in France, we do not get them so it was also a good species for us. And they are gorgeous.
Add a few bramblings and 1 redpoll to that and you can understand we were happy with ourselves by the end of the ringing.
