Gedser Fuglestation - 12 November 2015 - some speedy control returns

Yet more very windy weather, but this time with some sunshine. Birds seemed to be more willing to make the crossing and, as we've seen before little alighted in the garden. Hence the very low total for the day.
It really does feel as though migration is almost done. We noticed that the snow poles have been put out alongside the road - it's soon be time for us to be making our way back to the UK too.

Totals:   ( 9 ) 1

Spurvehøg / Sparrowhawk - 1
Fuglekonge / Goldcrest - 0 (1)
Bogfinke / Chaffinch - 1
Grønsisken / Siskin -2
Nordig Gråsisken / Common Redpoll - 1
Lille Gråsisken / Lesser Redpoll - 4

We have been very impressed by the speed of returns achieved by the Danish and Swedish organisers of the ringing schemes.

Good birding!
