We woke up this morning with clear skies and breezy conditions. We were not happy bunnies.

 

The first two rounds were slow, but we had a good variety of birds. There were few birds in the garden and not many flying overhead. Plenty of time for coffee.

 

At about 10.00 there seemed to be a movement of Blue Tits (Cyanistes caeruleus) with lots calling overhead and in the bushes. We caught 5 of the little devils. Interestingly the wing length of the migratory Danish birds averages over 65mm, while in the UK the sedentary population, averages approximately 62mm. 

 

Excitement started a little later when we caught a Nuthatch (Sitta europaea). This was interesting to the local Dane as it was of the subspecies caesia, which has warm buff underparts.
