Hi, Today we had a sunny day, preceded by a clear and starry night favourable to nocturnal migration of birds to reach their wintering site. We enjoyed ringing in the company of Hans Erik by sharing our ringing practices and the different age criteria of the birds. We all appreciated our joint meal of lamb and a bottle of red wine for the lunch. The ringing report is satisfactory with 90 individuals, and we were very surprised to catch and ring a garden warbler. This is a very late observation of this species, which winters south of the Sahara. It should have been in Spain by now feeding up before the finishing leg to African winter quarters. We were also happy to catch and ring the first Eurasian bullfinch this autumn, and many more are sure to follow. Ringed species were: gerdesmett 23, rødstrupe 9, svarttost 10, måltrost 1, rødvingetrost 4, hagesanger 1, munk 2, gransanger 1, fuglekonge 17, trekryper 6, bokfink 1, bjørkefink 8, grønnfink 5, dompap 1, gulspurv 1. Hans Erik took advantage of the influx of small thrushes and blackbirds to continue to put transmitters on these birds. The total for the two last days is transmitter on: 5 blackbirds (4 female and 1 male), 1 song thrush, 3 redwing and 1 mistle thrush. At the end of the day Hans Erik had to return to the continent with Per Espen, who brought provisions in the station boat with a brand new Honda engine! We continue our stay with an attempt to capture a nocturnal raptor, we hope to share with you a photo of Tegmalm's owl in tomorrow's post." Greetings Sebastien and Henry Kommentarer fra Terje. Etter dagens gjerdesmett fangst har vi satt ny stasjonsrekord med 1001 gjerdesmett ringmerket i 2024. Den forrige rekorden var fra 2022 med 990 ringmerket. Gransanger er nå oppe i 338 ringmerket. Nest beste år noensinne. Kun 2016 med 370 er bedre. Fuglekonge med 1836 til nå er fjerde beste år på 2000-tallet. Svarttrost med 402 ringmerket er tredje beste år for stasjonen. Tre til så er det sølv.  A late garden warbler was a surprise today. The late record at the station is one ringed on 28. October.
