This morning we broke the previous year record for Landsort set in 2014 when 11,900 birds were ringed. As of today, 12,256 birds have been ringed in 2020, with several weeks still to go! 356 birds were ringed today including two Great Grey Shrike (Varfågel). In addition, we caught a Blue Tit (Blåmes) with a Polish ring and a Lesser Redpoll (Brunsiska) with a Norwegian ring!
