The ringing:  

Today there were quite a lot of recaps in the nets, but it was also some from last year or the year before. It is always nice to realize when entering data, that these birds returned to here for breeding. If it is breeding birds, we realize that on their brood patches, we often see on birds we catch at this time of year. Today we had both of the common Acrocephalus Warblers, Marsh Warbler "Kærsanger" and Reed Warbler "Rørsanger", but I think the highlights of today were two couples of Greenfinches "Grønirisk", both Robert and I found one couple of male and female together in the net.

The moth:

Last night and early morning were good for catching moths. In total 22 species and 6 new ones. That is what looking for moths makes it interesting, every day something new. I  have chosen to show you the two following moths: the Straw Dot (Lille Å-Ugle) and the Common Yellow Conch (Tidselgulvikler).

This was my last day in Gedser for the spring, but will be back in September. Hanelie will probably go further with the moths, I have been able to get her interested in this intriging group of animals.
