Today was another great day in Gedser, although we did not see anything as spectacular as yesterday's King Eider. However, we caught quite a lot of birds in the morning, and again I had ringed species that were new for me: a redwing and two greenfinches. One greenfinch was ringed by Agata, so that's a new species for her as well. The bird that was most common in the nets today was a goldcrest. We don't catch them so often in Poland, so are very happy that we are able to gain so much experience with this species here.
After the standarized hours of ringing we had some time to take advantage of the beautiful weather, as it feels like summer today, and went on a small walk around - we are really fascinated with Danish landscapes.
Tomorrow the winds are said to be getting stronger, but we still can't wait to see what will happen and what species will fly into the nets.
