The ringing:

It was a slow morning, five new birds and two recaptures. Two of the new ringed birds were 1Ks , a Greenfinch “Grønirisk” and a House Sparrow “Gråspurv”.

June is a slow month, but what I like about that time is the 1K birds, you can´t resist their cuteness.

Next to one of the nets, I found the feather of a Tawny Owl “Natugle”, it was probably not in our garden, but the wind could have brought it. Owl feathers are special, they are extremely soft.

The moths:

Again, it was 21 species of moths, that I found in the trap today but unfortunately, they were very flighty again. A new species and my favourite of today luckily did not fly away, it was Anania coronata “Hyldehalvmøl”.

Later the day, I went along the dyke at Gedesby stand (and tested the sea, it is very good to go for a swim now) and a shimmering moth caught my attention: I caught it and found out that it was Adscita statices “Metalvinge”, a common but very pretty species.
