Observation:
Ringing:
Very slow morning with an average of 1 bird per round.
The highlight of today though is a gorgeous Sedge Warbler (Sivsanger) which is a pretty uncommon catch for Blåvand Fuglestation. This species favors reeds and swampy bushlands, which we don’t have very close to the nets at the ringing site. They winter in the south of the Sahara, and come in northern Europe to breed.

Let’s hope tomorrow has a bit more birds in stock for me!
Ringing totals for today:
Sivsanger (Sedge Warbler): 1
Gærdesanger (Lesser Whitethroat): 2/1
Musvit (Great Tit): 1
Gransanger (Chiffchaff): 2
Løvsanger (Willow Warbler): 1
Bogfinke (Chaffinch): 0/1
Total: 7/2
Little tern project:
Today was another slow day for the Little Tern project. Unfortunately, my wish from yesterday didn’t come true, because there were no little terns during today’s observation. Neither in flight nor resting on the shoreline. It seems they’ve chosen a different spot to nest this year. Hopefully I’m wrong and a few will return in the coming weeks.
