The ringing:

This morning was a little improvement to last morning, but just a little. Jens ringed the 9^th Common Rosefinch “Karmindompap” of the season, it was in the net with one of the Common Rosefinches “Karmindompap” we had already some days ago.

Also some of the birders who are here for the Overshooter Weekend came to them. As we catch so few of them this spring and we already noticed, that they are not doing so well this year, I will call a new Dunnock “Jernspurv” in the ringing the other highlight of the morning.

The moth:

Not many moths and not many species were in the traps this morning. They were also quite flighty already early in the morning, and also later, as it got quite warm today, so I am wondering, if there were some, that escaped before I saw them. A new one in the traps and for me today was Macaria brunneata “Okkergul Blåbærmåle” and it was also very numerous.

Phlogophora meticulosa “Agatugle” is a very common species but can be seen actually the whole year round, it will especially be very common in autumn, so I chose to show it, it is a good species to remember.
