Today, a gentle North West warm wind was blowing in the morning. The fog had disappeared and a few blackbirds and robins were singing quite early. Even if it seemed to be moving in the bushes, I didn't expect such a busy morning! I decided to call Hans to the rescue as soon as I started extracting birds! And it was definitely worth it this time, since the total number of birds ringed today reached 255!
This is most probably one of the busiest (if not the busiest) day of this spring. Not a record though, last spring they have had a few more on a day in april.
Anyway, let's celebrate that with more pictures than usually! But first, make a guess: which are the three most species ringed today?

Let's start with the bottom of the podium!

On the third place, we ringed 38 siskins today! These lovely birds were still around tonight in the garden, I have seen a small group of 15 just before sunset.
It was unusual for me to ring that many in one day!

On the second place, an usual suspect of Gedser ringing station! We ringed 53 new goldcrests today!

And on the first place, robins definitely ruled the station this morning! 114 of them were ringed!

Today also brought the third redpoll of this spring season in the net and there were a good number of blackbirds around.
