A little visitor from Sweden

onsdag 4. september 2019
af Robert Luttik

Again not such a busy day. We opened the nets at 6 o`clock and had in total today 26 birds and 16 different species. In the morning we had one little surprise, a little visitor from Sweden. It was a Kærsanger/Marsh Warbler. Dubble checking the ring number and taking pictures of the ring.  We closed the nets at 11.00.

In the afternoon we tried to catch at the pond Yellow Wagtails / Gule Vipstjerter in special low nets and by using the sound of the birds to attract them. During the morning and early afternoon we had seen several flocks migrating in the direction of Germany. And yes we were lucky, we caught three Yellow Wagtails.
