We had hoped for an influx of birds, but that was not the case. Even less birds than the day before. I had contact with the Dutch ringers and they are also "complaining" that there are less bird than expected. We are waiting for a weather change, but the weather is very stable. It is nice sunny and it is a little warmer than the week before. Tonight the wind goes to the west, so lets hope the birds find that good enough to travel to the North.

Today 16 birds (8 new and 8 recaptures, 9 species see table). Highlight of the day was Black Redstart (Husrødstjert) we caught (see pictures).

There is one more recapture of a Dunnock (Jernspurv), but we could not get it in the table.

Also still not so many moths. 23 moths in the traps or on the wall behind the traps, but 16 species. See the table, there are a few moths that do not have a Danish name according to Naturbasen and one even has no English name. They belong all to the group of micro moths and many of the species in this group are difficult to identify and I think that is the reason that they are probably undervalued.

I have chosen to show you two nice moth: the Zigzagspinder (Pebble Prominent) and the Rosen-Bladmåler (The Streamer)
