GEDSER - 22nd July

The day’s obvious highlight came very early on when a cracking BLACK-SHOULDERED KITE was found perched in a hedgerow just north of the station; it showed really well in the scope for a couple of hours before it headed off west – only the 11th record for Denmark and the first for Gedser!

                The nets were quieter again in the continuing hot and sunny conditions but did include 7 Icterine Warblers, 3 Marsh Warblers, another young Black Redstart (four were present in the garden) and 2 Redstarts.   There were a few other bits around through the morning including single Greenshank and Wood Sandpiper overhead, a Wheatear on the roof, big flocks of Cormorants heading SE and a Hobby which bombed over to the west.
 


The Black-shouldered Kite looked good in the scope but it was a bit far really for my camera!  These can be classed as record shots at the best but you can see what it is...
