Sommerlig dag med mange Gransangere
Så kom tiden, hvor brødrene Lind tog over efter Robert Luttik. Vi har glædet os længe til igen at ringmærke sammen . Jeg, Vagn Lind ringmærker jo en del på Fanø, hvor jeg året igennem har det hele for mig selv i Strandkrattet i Sønderho. Derfor er det altid en stor fornøjelse at komme til Gedser i efteråret, da der så er mulighed for sparring med andre ringmærkere. Man kan jo altid lære noget nyt og måske er der også nogen der kan lære noget af mig.
Da jeg mødte i går eftermiddag blev jeg modtaget af 3 unge mennesker, både en kendt og 2 ukendte og jeg er sikker på, at vi vil få 14 fornøjelige dage sammen.
Vi stod op til det mest pragtfulde vejr, ja, - måske lidt diset i de første morgentimer, men hurtigt kom solen og varmen frem. Vi valgte at glæde os over at svede lidt, da i dag nok bliver den sidste sommerlige dag i nogen tid.

At dagen så trods alt skulle levere os over 100 nye fugle havde vi måske ikke regnet med.
Fuglekonge
Ingen specielle arter. Dagen blev domineret af Gransangere. Vi havde en overgang så meget at lave, bl.a. også med at få Lara W i gang med mærkning, at vi ikke rigtig nåede at få taget så mange gode billeder.
Håber på det bliver bedre i morgen.
Dagens fangst:
The moth:
I did not find many moths in the traps and on the walls today; there were just 10 species, most of which I recognised from the days before. One that I picked from the wall after the opening round was new though. Both new for GFU for that period this autumn, that we are catching and also a new one for me: Agrochola lota “Pile-jordfarveugle”. Hans was again successful with Agrius convovuli “Snerlesværmer”, he had a few in his garden.
Leptologia lota "Pile-jordfarveugle"
Migration at Gedser Odde by Larissa Britton: Yesterday was the Autumn Equinox, meaning today the days begin to get shorter and Autumn is upon us. 2768 birds today, representing a nice diversity of 38 species. Here is a rundown of the species we had the pleasure of seeing today at the tip:
Excitement early this morning when an Osprey/Fiskeørn (Pandion haliaetus) was observed. I have been told to expect more Ospreys over the next coming weeks, so I look forward to seeing more of these beautiful raptors.
Still a few Hirundinidae leaving us for warmer Africa, with a small number of Barn Swallow/Landsvale (Hirundo rustica), House Martin/Bysvale (Delichon urbicum), and Sand Martin/Digesvale (Riparia riparia) counted today.
Several wader species were spotted today, these include: Oystercatcher/Strandskade (Haematopus ostralegus), Spotted Redshank/Sortklire (Tringa erythropus), Dunlin/Almindelig Ryle (Calidris alpina), and a Golden Plover/Hjejle (Pluvialis apricaria) which was heard first with its characteristic flat whistle.
As for gulls, today we had Black-headed/Hættemåge (Larus ridibundus), Common/Stormmåge (Larus canus), Herring/Sølvmåge (Larus argenteus), and 14 Little gulls/Dværgmåge (Hydrocoloeus minutus). We also watched two juv Great Black-backed gulls/Svartbar (Larus marinus) feeding.
Finally, though not migrating, a Black Guillemot/Tejst (Cepphus grylle) was spotted out at sea today.
Tomorrow, I will be back with an update for the migration count. Rain is forecast, but we will have to wait and see what conditions, and birds, will be met. I will be armed with my raincoat and some warming ginger tea. :)
