Lamsdell Bird Ringing and Wildlife Blog: Gedser Fuglestation

Gedser Fuglestation - 16 September 2015

Another disappointing day due to windy conditions. There are few birds in the garden and birds still flying over the station, and in many cases, straight out to sea.

1k Goldcrest (Fuglekonge)

1k Treecreeper (Træløber)

We caught our first Goldcrest (Fuglekonge) and Treecreeper (Træløber) of the season and a few more Sparrowhawks, that pleased Craig as wing shape and primary length data form the basis of his dissertation.

A Long-eared Owl (Skovhornugle) was heard calling in the station garden in the afternoon.

So, still no large numbers of migrants in the garden, but they have to pass through and it's only a matter of time.

About us

Chris and Denise Lamsdell

We have both been birders for about 40 years based in South Bucks near the West London reservoir complexes.

Since September 2021 we have been based in North Norfolk. We have done our bit of twitching in the past, but with other priorities this has become a much reduced activity with a preference for seeing new birds where ever our travels take us.

We both have been ringing since 2005. Our local group was the Runnymede RG while based in Buckinghamshire. Since moving to Norfolk we have started a new group called The Iceni Bird Monitoring Group, aimed at increasing public engagement through colour ringing projects on Black-headed Gull, Turnstone and Lapwing. We ring at several sites including Sculthorpe Moor, Sandringham Estate, Deepdale Farm and also monitor bird populations for the Norfolk Rivers Trust. We do ringing at home and support with foreign projects when opportunities allow. Chris also has an interest in Butterflies and Dragonflies and contains his limited photographic skill to them.
