Gedser Fuglestation - 27 October 2015

It was windier today with little in the way of thrushes or finches passing overhead.
We still managed a new species for our stay at Gedser, a rather smart Black-billed Magpie (Husskade), only the third ringed at the station.

 Black-billed Magpie - first year  (Husskade 1k)


This is the first day, for quite a few days, that Sisken (Grønsisken) have not been captured. We did, however trap our first Bullfinch (Dompap) of subspecies P. p. europaea, much smaller than Northern Bullfinch (Stor Dompap) and a different subspecies to those we usually work with in the British Isles.
