Gedser Fuglestation - 21 October 2015

Lots of Robins (Rødhals) seems to have left overnight and Goldcrest (Fuglekonge) numbers also seem to be down on yesterday. More finches are using the garden and this is reflected in the record sheet.

Greenfinch female - Grønirisk hun

Siskin male - Grønsisken han

Goldfinch male - Stillits han

Lesser Redpoll female - Lille Gråsisken hun

The wind has increased during the afternoon. We shall try, again, for owls this evening but conditions are not at the optimum.

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.
