Changing of the guards
Vagn left the station and I arrieved to be here for two weeks.
Nets were open before the sun came up, but there were hardly birds. First round only 1 bird, Joakim was the lucky guy to take the bird out. In all the years I have come to GFU I never had a first round of 0. In the end we caught 23 birds (14 new and 9 recaptures). Two of the recaptures were interesting. One blackbird (Solsort) caught by myself 4 years ago and was not caught in between those 4 years in the garden. One Garden warbler (Havesanger) was caught 5 years ago by Hans Lind as a 2k+, so the birds is at least 6 years old. Birds of the day were the Redpols (Gråsiskin) we caught (see picture)
I had put out 3 moth traps in the garden and caught only 3 moths, which is very very low for the time of the year.Three species: a Gotisk Foråsrugle (Hebrew Character), a Frønnet Landman (Shuttle-shaped Dart, see picture) and a moth without a Danish name (Brindeld Flat-body). All common moths for Denmark.
