Today was again a day with too much wind and because there is not much bird migration going on and  hardly any new birds are arriving in the garden. We had to share 12 birds between about 15 persons. We had a visit of the "Staten Naturhistoriske Museum". The Ringmærkningscentralen is merged with another department and they were visiting us to show the new colleagues how birds are caught and how we handle them for getting the information we are searching for. It was a pity that the weather circumstances were not completely right.

In the picture gallery you can find one picture of Hans and Ramon who is showing a gaerdesanger, the two other pictures are of a gulspurv, which looks a bit fluffy. The reason for that is that the birds was moulting all over, see the picture of the wing. You see the brownish older outer primaries and the brownish secondaries and in the middle the nicely coloured fresh new primaries.

 Catches and recaptures of today:

With kind regards and I hope that the weather soon will change and we get a whole influx of new birds.
