Another day in Gedser passed, adn instead of getting bored, we are falling in love with this place more and more. The weather is perfect and we feel like sitting on a spring bomb that can explode any moment, covering every bush with fresh green leaves and flowers. We already see some butterflies and bumblebees, and even spotted a frog in a pond next to one of the nets.
Today we did not make any spectacular observations, although Agata got to ring her first Redwing and Greenfinch, and it´s really buce ti see these species in hand. Moreover, we caught quite a lot of chiffchaffs hatched last year, and as it´s very hard to age them, it is super good to have an opportunity to practice it.
Ben joined us again and was gaining more experience with Hans being watchful over all the ringing. In total we banded much more birds than yesterday and hope that this growing trend will continue in next days.
