Ringed birds in Falsterbo






Ringed birds in Falsterbo, Autumn 2006

From 11th of August to the 2nd of November I worked as a bird observer in Falsterbo. In the lighthouse garden, which is close to my observation spot, other people worked with ringing birds. With this, it's much easier to find out which routes the birds migrate and where they spend the winter. Also, by doing it the same way each year, it's a good way of telling if species are getting more common or more rare.

Among all the common birds, some more or less uncommon birds are caught each year. Some of these are shown here. In order from top it's Great Reed Warbler 14/9, Yellow-browed Warbler 30/9, Firecrest 1/10, Red-breasted Flycatcher 1/10 and Ring Ouzel 14/10.
