Gedser Fuglestation - 20 October 2015

After yesterday's rush of birds following the rain, today was really rather quiet. We opened extra nets as we were to be joined by Hans and Bo but in contrast to our ringing sessions over the last week or so, after the first couple of rounds, we were checking some nets to find them empty.

There was more processed than we expected.

Around midday there was enough warmth from the sun to encourage birds of prey to use the thermals, some migrating while others continued to rest in the area.
