Til tross for klarvær og mye vind ut over dagen, ble det faktisk 73 nye fugler ringmerket. Totalen for året er nå 4.629 og for høsten 2.119. Ikke veldig imponerende, men det har vært en spesiell sesong.
Dagens ringmerking: 1 spurvehauk (årets fjerde), 1 flaggspett (årets nummer 60), 16 gjerdesmett, 4 rødstrupe, 2 svarttrost, 6 munk, 2 gransanger, 26 fuglekonge, 4 blåmeis, 1 kjøttmeis, 2 trekryper, 1 bjørkefink, 4 grønnfink, 2 gråsisik og 1 brunsisik.
Franskmennene hadde besøk av Hans Herik og vennen hans med den nydelige navnet (Magne). Aggregat fremdeles dødt. 

​After a long night trying to catch an owl for Fred and Seb...
A new quiet morning on Store Faerder station with 74 captures. quiet until Seb shouted something like "ooOooOopPoPOooOp!!! "... There was a Sparrowhawk (Spurvehauk) in the nets!
After this nice catch, the weather became more and more windy, cloudy and we could hear some thunderstorm in the fjord.
We had the visit of Hans Herik and... his lovely named friend... who came to fix the generator.
A new bird was almost identified with them. It was probably a little bunting or a rustic bunting.
Later, juste before closing the nets, a Hen harrier (Myrhauk) flew above the cabin.
In the afternoon, everyone could rest while the storm took place outside.

Årets femte spurvehauk. 

​Regards,
Fred, Seb and Servane
