 We arrived at the station at midday and were welcomed by a beautiful dragonfly which landed on our fingertips and allowed us to take its picture. It tilted its head and looked straight at us, equally as stunned to see us, as we were to see him.  First bird of the day was a handsome young male redstart, who was checked over to see if he was carrying fat, a sure sign he is ready to continue his migration. Hi,
I'm Meg Speck, a ringer from England who was given the opportunity to come across to Store Færder through Chris, a fellow ringer at Filey Bird Observatory. This was a great opportunity, which I gladly accepted. After a rather rough boat trip across from the main land with Hans Erik, we arrived at 13:00 and put the nets up. We were treated to a redstart as our first bird of the day, with the remainder of the day predominantly robins. We ringed a total of 22 birds (redstart 1, wren 1, robin 13, blackcap 7). I look forward to the rest of my stay on the island. Regards, Meg and Hans Erik
