Gedser Fuglestation - 25 September 2015

Numbers were up again today. Chiffchaffs are pushing on now in good numbers, we have had the first of the migrating Blue Tits and new Robins continue to appear.

Three Firecrest were a most welcome addition to the list, as was the first Whinchat of the year.

 Juvenile male and female  Firecrest (Rødtoppet Fuglekonge)


It is interesting that the literal translation from Dansk (Rødtoppet Fuglekonge) is Red topped Bird king, but the translation from English to Dansk for Firecrest would be Brandvåbenskjold.

 Juvenile Whinchat (Bynkefugel)
