Windy Wednesday

onsdag 14. oktober 2020
af Jeppe Overgaard

Dagen I dag har stået på observationer ved Nordstrand og eventet åben fryser ved Det Grå Fyr.

Vinden var hård og kold da vi stod ud af bilen ved Nordstrand. Men med kaffe på kanden, teleskopet under armen og huen over ørene gik det an.
Vi var i dag fem observatør som var klar til at tælle de trækkende fugle.  Som fuglene flyver forbi, får vi talt dem én efter én. Dagens mest observeret fugl bliver i dag Sulen (northern gannet) med et resultat på 346.
Kl. 12.00 går turen hjem til en velfortjent frokost.

Simon og Christina er hjemme på stationen og klargøre eventet åben fryseren som starter kl 13.00. Eventet har til formål at fremvise hvad en fugl består gennem dissekering. Dagens hovedfugl var en ung spurvehøg (sparrowhawk).
Christina føre kniven imens Simon fremviser forskellige organer til de fremmødte.

P1010156Ligeledes bruger Simon fuglens vinge til, at fremvist hvordan man kan aldersbestemme fugle. De fremmødt stiller spørgsmål og benytter sig af den forforståelse de har om fugle.

P1010166
Eventet afsluttes med, at Simon uddeler en halefjer, fra spurvehøgen (sparrowhawk), til de børn som ønsker det. Tak til de fremmødt, vi sætter pris på jeres deltagelse.

P1010168

Kl.19.00 begyndte aftens fordrag ved Hans Christophersen om fugle rejse til Cape May.

Exciting Day

tirsdag 13. oktober 2020
af Amelie Zeller

So, like Christina already told you, we had a nice evening yesterday. Henning guided a lovely night tour for a big group of people. I’ve never seen the birder’s club this crowded before! We walked to Grenen and could see some Seals, an Eider (Ederfugl), Sanderlings (Sandløber) and Jeppe and I even saved a fish that was lying on the side at the beach. It was still alive, and we could see it swimming again after I carried it back into the sea. I also introduced Jeppe to nightcatching with a net and a torch, but the group of people on the tour was too big, so the birds were easily scared away…

Then, this morning Christina, Jeppe and I opened the nets at Kabeltromlen. We had a good day and our highlights were a Blackcap (Munk) recapture from Belgium, a flock of 26 Twites (Bjergirisk) and in our closing round we had a Jay (Skovskade) in our nets. Although my hand was bleeding afterwards, it was such an amazing experience to ring this beautiful bird.

WhatsApp Image 2020 10 13 at 21.29.075Like always, Erik, Henning, Oluf and Jørgen were a big help for us. Jeppe could help us quite a bit at writing today, as well. He was very excited, as it was his first time ever to join a ringing station and he really enjoyed seeing the birds this close and having the nice working athmosphere in our “outdoor office”, like Oluf calls it.

In the afternoon we showed Jeppe the lab and where we keep all the items we need at the ringing station. Then, we entered today’s data. Jeppe already saw a lot today and is eager to learn and help us!

Kristina and her boyfriend Mads were here today and also brought their dog Aslan, which is always a nice surprise. They cooked a delicious meal for us and we had some great talks at the dinner table.

Tonight, Kristina and Jeppe guided another night tour again. They had a lot of visitors and tried to spot some animals.

Bearded tits + Twites

mandag 12. oktober 2020
af Christina Stinn

Amelie and I opened the nets at 6:45 AM and enjoyed an unusually clear morning sky. It was only 8 degrees this morning, but it didn’t feel that cold because there was no wind at all.

Oluf, Erik, Jørgen, and Igor joined us and lent us a hand/paw where needed. Again, we very much appreciated their help, although today was not quite as busy as the last few days. Our two new guests Britta and Lotte also came to visit us at Kabeltromlen to see what we were catching.

I was very excited when we caught some Bearded tits (Skægmejse) because I had never handled or ringed any of them before. Such beautiful birds!

IMG 3071

In our last round, we also caught two Twites (Bjergirisk), which look very similar to redpolls (Gråsisken) but have a yellow bill and a pink rump (less obvious in females):

IMG 3079

IMG 3086

Amelie and I wanted to sew a few nets after ringing, but then the wind picked up quite a bit as we were closing the nets. However, we also had a long to-do list to complete in the afternoon, so it probably wasn’t a bad idea for us to be back at the lighthouse before 3PM.

We welcomed a new volunteer, Jeppe, to Skagen Fuglestation this afternoon. He will join us in our ringing activities over the next couple of days to learn more about birds and might return for the month of November to get some bird handling experience. He already made an excellent first impression on Amelie and me when he brought in a basket full of home-grown vegetables:

Amelie and Jeppe are joining Henning on a guided night tour with 25 guests today. I am curious to hear all about their nighttime adventures in Grenen. You will find out tomorrow, so stay tuned!

And another good day :)

søndag 11. oktober 2020
af Amelie Zeller

Today we had another good ringing day. Simon and his father left yesterday afternoon to spend a few days at Blåvand Fuglestation. So, Christina and I were very happy that Erik, Jørgen, Oluf, Henning, Knud and Laila were able to support us so well and will continue to help us over the next few days. After all, we caught over 200 birds at Grenen today! Michael Ancher was also out ringing today at Jennes Sø. Tomorrow we hope for another long day of ringing with wonderful friends and birds, maybe even something rare? :)

WhatsApp Image 2020 10 11 at 15.30.44

In the afternoon Christina and I entered and checked ringing data, a very important task here at the station. Tomorrow Jeppe will come by for a few days. He is new at birdwatching and is thinking of working with us for a few weeks in November. Maybe he can help us check some sheets tomorrow evening :P

We are already looking forward to the next weeks and hope for many more long ringing days with lots of birds!

Some nice pictures of the sunset here at the lighthouse Christina took while taking a little evening walk:

Record ringing day!

lørdag 10. oktober 2020
af Christina Stinn

We had a record day for birds at Kabeltromlen with a total of 239 new birds and 35 recaptures! Michael was also busy ringing at Jennes Sø - together with his new captures, our total for today is a whopping 299 birds. Now that calls for a celebration!

GEUB2873

We were very glad to have Kirsten there, as well as Rie, Gunnar, Erik and Jørgen who provided ringing/data entry support all morning. Jørgen also brought us a bag with delicious pastries from the bakery, which kept our engines running and our spirits high. It was great fun, and the day just flew by in no time!

A highlight of the day was a flock of Long-tailed tits (Halemejse), which are just the cutest bird species out there (in my opinion).

TOTZ6041

The two Long-tailed tits (Halemejse) shown here belong to two groups: On the left is Aegithalos caudatus europeaus (Sydlig Halemejse), which can be identified by the black and white head and occurs in western and southern Europe, north-east China, and Japan. The bird on the right has a white head, which tells us that it partly belongs to the northern subspecies Aegithalos caudatus caudatus.

OJLH5676

I mean, what’s not to like about their button-eyes, tiny faces, and melodious call? Even if they quarrel a bit ...

PFIG1498

Incidentally, it is also Amelie’s 22nd birthday today – her family and friends sent her gifts from Germany, which she opened with great enthusiasm this afternoon:

IMG 3007

Kirsten made us a delicious salmon dinner tonight, and it was a delight having her here this week. We are sad to have to say goodbye to her tomorrow already. She chose a good week to come to Skagen Fuglestation because we ringed about 1000 birds during her stay! We look forward to welcoming her back here next spring when she returns to practice her bird-handling and ringing skills.

The cormorant (Skarv) that got away and an elusive Spotted nutcracker (Nøddekrigen)

fredag 9. oktober 2020
af Christina Stinn

Kirsten and I spent a beautiful ringing day with Michael at Jennes Sø today. Michael showed us how to put up mist nets, as neither of us had done it before. After installing a few with us, Michael let us practice on the last net by ourselves. We spent a lot of time taking leaves and twigs out of the net (the net dropped to the ground a couple of times before we could secure it properly…), but in the end we successfully got the net up and were rewarded for our efforts when we caught a few Goldcrests (Fuglekonge) in it.

The weather was great (it only drizzled on our last round), and we had quite a few birds. Our most frequently caught birds were Goldcrests (Fuglekonge – 32 individuals) and wrens (Gæ­rdesmutte – 11 individuals). The wrens can be tricky to take out of the net because they tend to get quite tangled. However, we managed to extract all of them.

Kirsten not only got a chance to see Jennes Sø but could also spend time doing what she loves to do: practicing her bird handling skills at the nets.

IMG 2958

There was also a Great Cormorant (Skarv) at the dock by the pond, minding its own business. I tried to catch it, but of course I wasn’t fast enough, and it got away.

IMG 2957

Simon and Amelie went out in the late afternoon with Simon's father Gunnar to find a Spotted nutcracker (Nøddekrigen) at Skagen Klitplantation.

QSRT0332

Unfortunately it was no longer there. But who knows, if it’s in the area, maybe we’ll get a chance to spot it over the next few days?

We are looking forward to ringing at Kabeltromlen with Gunnar tomorrow: The weather is supposed to be very nice, and we are of course hoping for more rarities, as always!

Ringing all day long

torsdag 8. oktober 2020
af Amelie Zeller

After having a long but also wonderful day yesterday with more than 200 birds, the motivation was high to get up early and open the nets. Unfortunately, a long morning rain shower prevented us from starting with the sunrise, but when the rain stopped, Martin and Christina quickly went to open the nets.

Christina, Martin and I worked on extracting and ringing the birds as quickly and efficiently as possible, but we were glad that Simon was able to give us a hand.

121125299 640517233288013 5221981353887616592 nAlthough there were fewer birds than yesterday, we still had a lot to do. Among other things, we had a Yellow-browed Warbler (Hvidbrynet Løvsanger) that surprised us from a birdbox full of Goldcrests (Fuglekonge)!

Once again, we were very happy that we had such great helpers, who supported us especially in writing down the data. Kirsten also had a great day and was very happy that she could ring a few birds. Extracting and handling the birds is becoming easier and easier for her.

Fyldte net

onsdag 7. oktober 2020
af Simon Sigaard Christiansen

Der fortsætter med at være masser af småfugle i området – og ikke mindst i nettene! 224 fugle blev ringmærket i dag, hvoraf topscoren lidt usædvanligt blev rørspurv (Reed Bunting) med 63. Vi var heldige med at næsten alle byger passerede udenom os, dog var vi nødsaget til at lukke nettene kortvarigt lige omkring solopgang - kun en halv time efter de var sat op. De blev dog hurtigt aktiveret igen, da det første hold fugle var kommet igennem systemet. Herefter fortsatte fabriksarbejdet frem til kl. 17. Esben, Oluf og Kirsten var her en stor hjælp ligesom de foregående dage og deltog fra start til slut. Desuden tog både Laila, Jørgen og Kristina fat med blyanten og skrev protokol i løbet af morgentimerne.

stordag2020Flittige ringmærkere tømmer net

Midt i det hele fik vi gennemført en tur for studerende på Natur– og Kulturformidlerudannelsen, som Kristina tog vel hånd om. Desuden kom en del birdere forbi i løbet af morgenen og hilste på, bl.a. Lars og Casper, som fik et godt tip til en hit-busk, hvilket resulterede i at de fandt en hvidbrynet løvsanger.

grasiskenokt2020Lille Gråsisken (Lesser Redpoll) - en af de mange fugle mærket i dag

Sent på eftermiddagen ventede der brød og kage til de hjemkomne (samt kød til kødæderne), det blev dog til en lettere aftensmad i stedet. Om aftenen prioriterede vi at få det hele tastet ind – frisk og klar til i morgen, hvor vi forventer der nok skal blive tryk på igen.

Christina og Martin havde en tiltrængt fridag og tog Søndenfjords for at se på store vingefang i Lille Vildmose, hvilket lykkedes meget godt med både kongeørn (Golden Eagle) og havørn (White-tailed Eagle), men de fik også syn på bl.a. pungmejse (Penduline Tit) de udsatte elge og besøgt vores venner på Lille Vildmosecentret. De kom tilbage om aftenen.

Busy day full of birds

tirsdag 6. oktober 2020
af Martin Grienenberger

Unusual schedule today since it was raining this morning. We still woke up at 6 to check for the weather and decide how the day would go. The weather forecast was predicting rain until 8:00 and 30 min from 09:30.

We decided not to go ringing right away in the morning so we don’t have to close the nets during our session. We therefore went birdwatching  instead until the rain stops.
We went to Buttervej and Højen Fyr to check for some migrants and we were quite happy to find a lot of birds there ! According to Simon, there never has been so many birds in that area ! Goldcrests (Fuglekonge)were calling from every bushes, Chaffinches (Bogfinke) and Greenfinches (Grønsisken) were feeding, flying over us, and a hell lot of Wrens (Gærdesmutte) “wrening” around. Simon found a odd looking brown warbler which turned out to be a classical Chiffchaff (Gransanger). It made his heart beating faster though, him being eager to find a Radde’s Warbler (Schwarzsanger). The rarest bird to be found this morning was a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker (Lille Flagspætte). Unfortunately, I was the only to see it and I couldn’t share it with Amelie and Simon. This species is really rare here in Skagen, not even yearly, with previous records being from 2020, 2018 and 2016. On our way back, we made a quick stop at Grenen Stald to look for the Turtle Dove (Turtledue) but it didn’t show up. Amelie still enjoyed that stop and made herself a new friend.

WhatsApp Image 2020 10 06 at 18.55.46

When the rain stopped at 10, Amelie and I went opening the nets, quickly joined by Kirsten, Oluf and then Simon. Even though it was already late in the morning, birds were really active and each of our rounds were super busy ! The most numerous species was the Goldcrest (Fuglekonge).
Kirsten was really happy about her session since she felt more confortable in handling and exctracting birds, nicely helped by the team.
Simon left us earlier since he had a meeting to attend with Kristina, which was dealing about a project involving yound children.
Today again, we caught another Norwegian recapture, this time a young male Blackcap (Munk).

WhatsApp Image 2020 10 06 at 17.53.26

Amelie and Simon went again to Batteriskoven to catch the 2 long staying Pink-footed Geese (Kortnæbbet Gås), and they managed to get really close to them this time, at less than 5 meters from them ! But 5 meters is not close enough and the Geese escaped. This story will go on tomorrow again and maybe our motivated catchers will find a good trick to catch them !

Sans titre

Esben is joining us tonight, and will go nightcatching as he always does ! Which resulted in the 3rd Jack Snipe this season

3 foreign recaptures today!

mandag 5. oktober 2020
af Amelie Zeller

Last night, Simon, Laila and I went out to Grenen Sø and some other places to try and catch some Jack Snipes (Enkeltbekkasin), Lapland Buntings (Lapland Longspur) and a Pink-footed Goose (Kortnæbbet Gås). We didn’t catch the birds, but we had lots of fun and saw some deer and this cute hedgehog on our way.

WhatsApp Image 2020 10 05 at 17.40.17

In the morning we had to wake up early again, but it was worth it. Already before the first round we had the feeling that it will be a busy day and started ringing even before sunrise.

WhatsApp Image 2020 10 05 at 17.40.172

It was good to have some friends at the ringing station: We were glad Jørgen and Laila could help us at writing today. Oluf, as always was helping us a lot for extracting and ringing so many birds today. Kirsten is also looking forward to this week and hopefully she can practise a lot of handling and extracting of birds.

Igor was also here and as usual in the spotlight at the ringing station :) after the birds, of course…
