Hun 1K. Stær (Sturnus vulgaris, Common Starling)

The ringer Jesper Brinkmann have send this fine photo of a 1CY starling and tells us that previous the species was rather rare in the mist nets at Gedser. The numbers have increased the last few years - so 2011 was a record year for the species with almost 100 captured.
In addition, we know from the the last couple or more years of observational data that the numbers observed have increased as well.
