The gorgeous flaming sunrise

Hey hey!!

It was another sunny and not so windy day! The morning started with Michaela and Jonas opening the nets. Rasmus and I joined for the first round on which we had some birds, but that slowly changed and the rest of the morning was not so interesting ringing-wise. Simon joined us too, and set up the recorder in case there was a rare bird flying by!

The recorder

During some of the later rounds we had two song thrushes (Sangdrossel) at the same time – one adult and one second calendar year, so it was very educational and fun to see them side by side and look at the differences. Same later happened with two Chiffchaffs (Gransanger)!

Michaela and I, happy to see Igor. 

Apart from that, we had the nice company of Oluf and Soren, Jorgen and Igor who stayed with us the whole morning. We got to see the first Pallid harrier (Steppehøg) of the spring flying low over water! It was a nice adult male and we were all super happy!

A photo of the second individual, taken by Knud from his garden! What a gorgeous bird!! An adult male. 

We didn’t ring for very long as there were not so many birds. After coming back to the station, eating lunch and then napping, we all enjoyed the nice sunny weather. Jonas spotted spring’s first wheatear through the living room window and all of us went out to see it, but it took some time until we spotted it again! There were some raptors flying over, so Jonas and Rasmus went up to Kap gadagong where I joined them just as the second Pallid harrier of the way has passed by. Some minutes later we had another one flying by quite close! Three adult male Pallid harriers in one day!!!

Newly returned Wheatear!

After that, we split up, the guys went back to the station, and I went for a walk in Elle Krattet and walked back on the beach where I watched some Sandwich terns (Splitterne) and saw some Rock pipits (Skærpiber)!

Daniel spent the afternoon going shopping with Simon for the supplies needed to make the new whoosh-net as the one we made before got stolen last weekend.. He also went to help Michael Ancher to set up some nets in Jenne Sø with Rasmus. Michaela also went for a walk in the afternoon, she found and photographed some snakes, and also saw some lizzards.

Common European Adder (Hugorm)

It was a nice day with nice birds and lovely sun, and the most amazing sunrise and sunset! 

Amazing sunset.

This morning Laima, Jeppe and Rasmus opened the nets. Finally, the wind weather was predictable without showers or wind. They had a cold but beautiful sunrise with mist, frost and amazing colours. For me personally they had the best found already before they even opened the nets, since they found my glove on the road, which I lost yesterday. Although the day started freezing cold, it turned out to be a very warm and sunny day. Also, it was a lovely ringing day with 34 birds and 8 different species. Meanwhile, Jonas was observing together with Knud at Nordstrand. They had a good day with 15 Long-tailed Ducks (Havlit), an Artic Skua (Almindelig Kjove) and a Black Guillimot (Tejst).

I slept in today to be fit for my university exam at noon. After breakfast I went for a walk to go through some lecture notes again and joined a bit in the ringing. We didn´t had many exciting bird observation from Kabeltromlen, however, our guests Marianne and Kurt spotted a Submarine in the Kattegat, what was quite exciting to see. Michaëla took 37 tick samples from a Blackbird (Solsort), which had 43 ticks in total on it. That is quite impressive and I guess the bird is happy to got them removed. Unfortunately for Michaëla who began to enjoy the tick sampling, we will stop soon to sample more ticks, because most Blackbirds are stationary ones now, since the migration mostly stopped. The highlight in the ringing was a Chiffchaff (Gransanger) recapture ringed in Sweden. Just after I left the others to go back for my exam, they caught it in the last round while closing the nets.

After Jonas observation morning, he spend the day with his Sister´s family, who came visiting us later this afternoon. Also, Rasmus and Jeppe went to Saftevandsbakken and spotted a Great Grey Shrike (Stor Tornskade). Unfortunately, Jeppe had to leave us today. It was really nice and funny with him here and we are looking forward to his next visit. In the afternoon Simon came back from his summerhouse, were he went a bit birdwatching but didn´t found many exciting birds. That can change now that he´s back in Skagen.

Jeg ankom i går til Skagen Fuglestation efter en lang rejse med offentlig transport. Min første hele dag i Skagen startede klokken 05.25 med klargøring til morgenobs og herefter morgenobs i 3 timer før Jeppe og jeg pakkede sammen fordi vi syntes det var ret tyndt til sidst.

De første 3 timer gav ellers mange alk/lomvie, rødstrubet lom og en hel masse suler. Da vi kom hjem, stod den for nogle på data, imens andre fik sig en god lur. Ved 14-tiden tog Jeppe, Jonas, Michela, Kurt, Marianne og jeg hen for at tælle og følge skarvene i Skarvsøen. Det var super hyggeligt og vi fik desuden set nogle fede arter som fjeldvåge og atlingand. Alt i alt observerede vi 84 skarve og fandt 6-7 nye reder. Efter de fede fugle i Skarvsøen besluttede Jonas og Michela sig for at gå hjem til stationen langs med stranden hvor de fandt en død lomvie og så fjeldvågen slås med en rørhøg.

Imens tog vi andre ned på havnen for at kigge efter gråmågen. Den var desværre ikke at finde da vi var der, men så var det jo godt at man kunne proviantere i Netto i stedet. Nu står den på aftensmad, måske en aftengåtur? Og selvfølgelig PSG-Bayern hvis jeg altså kan holde mig vågen. Jeg syntes det har været en rigtig god første dag i Skagen. Jeg ser frem til at tilbringe resten af april, maj og juni heroppe.

I dag har være præget af vind, kulde og hagl hvilke påvirkede observationen af trækfugle og ringmærkningen. 

Fra morgen tog Daniel og jeg ud for at åbne nettene og klargøre til ringmærkningen. Dette var til den skønne lyd af rørdrumens (Eurasian bittern) Pauken.
Laima kom lidt efter vi var komme tilbage, med dejlig varm kaffe. 

Men fornøjelsen var kort, da vi efter tre runder måtte lukke nettene igen, grundet vejeret. 

Ved Verdens ende 3 sad Jonas og Michaela klar til at tætte trækfugle. Vejret var også imod dem, med hård vind og hagl. Efter tre timer måtte de pakke sammen.

Tilbage på stationen blev der malet fugle, studeret og fugletur ud af huset. Som et frisk indslag hoppede Daniel og jeg en tur i bølgen blå. 

Ved 14.00 tiden tog Laima, Jonas og jeg ind for at hente den nye frivillige her på fuglestationen hvorefter vi skulle på det ugentlig indkøb. 

Vi tager alle godt imod Rasmus som vil være her på fuglestation det næste stykke tid. Rasmus har taget den lange vej fra Grenaa og ankom glad med træt efter en lang transporttid. 

Rasmus var dog ikke for træt til at skulle på fælles indkøb. Netto blev indtaget og båndet blev fyldt om med madvare til hele ugen. Min lille bil var godt pakke med mennesker, poser med mad og tasker. Hjem til fuglestationen det gik.  

Imens vi andre var ude af huset, blev Michaela og Daniel hjemme for at gøre rent på stationen.

Da de praktiske gøremål var overstået, var der tid til Yoga, gåture og en lille lur. 

Vores nye gæster, Marianne og Kurt, nåede desværre ikke meget ringmærkning, men gik istedet ud på Grene for at se på sæler og fugle. Her til aften tager de en tur til Gammel Skagen for at se solnedgang. 

Laima laver i aften dejlig aftensmad som er traditionel polsk mad – Pierogi. Det ser vi alle frem til. 

Rigtig god aften til alle der læser med. Vi er på pletten igen i morgen.

Hi folks!

Hope your weekend went well and you are all refreshed for the week ahead :)

Today was a day without much wind which was very nice after so many windy days!
With the ground slightly frozen and a breath-taking sunrise, Daniel and Esben opened the nets for 5:45 am and got to see a migrating Marsh Harrier (Rørhøg) while doing so. As the wind was so low, they didn't have to think about which ones to open, therefore opened them all. :)
Laima and I joined for the first round. Jørgen and Igor joined us for a while, and obviously, Igor got to get a lil' snack. :)
We caught a total of 51 birds, including 3 Song Thrush (Sangdrossel) (first one ringed for me :)), a Reed Bunting (Rørspruv), and 24 Goldcrests (Fuglekonge). I spotted the second Barn Swallow (Landsvale) of the spring which was my first because I failed to see the first one, which I was super excited about!

Laima, Daniel and Esben ringing this morning at Kabeltromlen

In the meantime, Jonas, Kristine, and Martin drove to Nordstrand to meet up with Knud at Nordstrand, which is the first time doing morning obs there for Jonas. While expecting lots more land birds, the Gannet (Sule) migration was the best ever for spring with 4.345 individuals (1.300 in the first hour!), most of them flying to West, to Scotland! They also had more than a thousand Guillemots/Razorbills (Lomvie/Alk), four Shovelers (Skeand), a Merlin (Dværgfalk), and Jonas' first Osprey (Fiskeørn) of the year. It was also Jonas' first fall from his chair, as he was looking up to a bird and fell backwards in front of 5 other birders, knocking his scope over in the fall. We are so sorry we missed the fall, but hopefully it made the birders laugh! :DKristine and Martin visited us in the ringing area for a while, before heading back to Nordstrand, and drove back to Det Grå Fyr when it started raining, while we closed nets and started making our way back. It was super nice to come back to leftover lasagnas after getting soaked on the bikes hehehe.

Kristine and Martin left shortly after with Esben, as they kindly offered to drive him back to Aalborg. It was such a pleasure to have the 3 of them with us! We will definitely miss you and hope you'll come back soon, Esben maybe early may and Kristine and Martin late April. :)?

Incredible sketches and very nice note left by Kristine and Martin

After relaxing and/or taking a nap, Daniel studied for his exam on Wednesday and we ordered some waxed cord to make necklaces with Aporrhais pespelecani (Pelican foot); Laima entered the ringing data, went for a walk in the rain, and painted; Jonas entered observation data on DOFBasen, and I looked at accommodation opportunities in Lund for next year.

After our new guests, Marianne and Kurt, arrived after driving from Copenhagen along the coast, Daniel started making pita bread for tonight. Big day for Daniel though, as he finally managed to get a date! In his mouth, after throwing it in the air. :P

Jeppe, a former volunteer, arrived shortly after the evening meeting and will be staying with us until Wednesday.
Who is to say if we are losing our mind, or just very funny people, but because Daniel has such long eyelashes, we got him to put mascara on. Laima and I are both veeery jealous of how good he looks!

I mean, look at those lashes! And notice the necklace. Those are the ones we will be making soon. :)

We will now have dinner, and go to bed probably very early to be ready for tomorrow!

Enjoy your evening, and speak with you soon ?

Idag var det lørdag og lørdag er jo en fin dag
Igen idag skulle der være meget vind og jeg valgte derfor for første gang at tage en morgen fri hvilket var en fremragende beslutning
Vi var nemlig så heldige at Esben, tidligere frivillig, er på besøg og han kunne hjælpe Daniel med at tage morgenobsen.

Laima, Michaela og jeg blev altså hjemme da der var for meget vind til ringmærkning.
Esben og Daniel havde også en fin dag derude på trods af vinden. Morgenobsen gav bla Mallemukker, Rider og Skeand som vistnok er den første på grenen i år. De fik også besøg af Simon og vores kære gæster Kristine og Martin
Herhjemme stod den på natoptagelser, ringmærkningsdata og småkager.
Da morgenobsen var ovre satte Esben sig i laboratoriet og læste samtidig med at han holdte øje med whoosh-nettet i haven.
Michaela, Daniel og jeg tog med Kristine og Martin til skarvsøen for at lave vores tællinger og efterfølgende tog vi til Jerup strand. Her gik jeg med et ønske om en tidlig vadefugl eller måske en sølvhejre men det skulle ikke være. Til gengæld var der kortnæbbede gæs, gravænder og en stor flok af knortegæs. Daniel og Michaela gik amok i muslinger, konkylier og andet godt fra havet og det endte med at være en helt fin tur, tusind tak til Kristine og Martin for kørsel. Det er jo også desværre deres sidste dag i Skagen imorgen, det har været en kæmpe fornøjelse at have jer på besøg, i er utroligt passionerede og interesserede og det har været fedt at se på fugle med jer!!

Det skulle så faktisk vise sig at det var en succes med Whoosh nettet da der var en hvid vipstjert der gik til foderet og den fik efterfølgende en fin ring på, Daniel var hårdt ramt da han ikke var hjemme til denne begivenhed på trods af at han har arbejdet med den fælde.

It‘s been windy and rainy the whole night, making it a little difficult to sleep. When Jonas and I got up to have breakfast before leaving for morning obs, it was still raining, therefore we decided to postpone leaving the station for another hour. That allowed us for more sleep, and then it was actually sunny!

Clad in our snowsuits, we set off to world’s end 3 and began observing the sea. We stayed for 3 hours in total, and even though windy, it was not too cold (thanks to all the layers we wore!!). We had quite a nice migration of scoters (Sortand), some auks (Alkefugle), 1 arctic skua (Almindelig kjove) and a number of different birds. The way back was a little tough with all the sand being blown in our faces, but we were very lucky to observe a 2k year white-tailed eagle (Havørn) from quite close!

My new best friend on a windy day is a snow suit

Cold morning obs

Back at the station, Michaela and Daniel had a productive morning; Michaela was working through night recordings, and Daniel was studying for his upcoming exam. When we came back, Daniel made everyone pancakes and set off the fire alarm! Nevertheless, we then had lovely elevenses (reference to The Hobbit, and their habit at eating at 11:00 :D).

Simon also had a nice day, he worked on more rarity committee stuff in the morning, and in the afternoon went to town to buy some bamboo sticks and a long stick for us to use at Kabeltrommlen to hang bird bags. He also got a sledgehammer, and ordered the new passerine flight identification book! Looking forward to reading it! Then he had an interview about mute swans with a newspaper.

Daniel on the walk by the sea

The afternoon was quite chill, Jonas had the longest nap of his life which was well deserved as he’s been getting up early every morning. I also had a nap, and after that worked on fixing the last net with Daniel in the attic. Then we finished the leftover sushi, and Michaela and Daniel went out to take photos of the stormy sea. They got carried away and instead of filming the sea, started filming themselves doing hand stands! Also, congratulations to Michaela who got admitted to a master’s programme in Lund!!

Michaela's cool headstand

After the evening meeting we played a game of bird charades which was won by Jonas! Esben arrived tonight for the weekend! No ringing was done today, and we won’t be able to ring tomorrow either, but hopefully soon the wind will go down and we can catch birds again!

Finally, the wind went down, so Laima, Michaëla and Jonas went ringing at Kabeltromlen this morning. Kristine, Martin and I went observing with Knud at Worlds End 3. The observation started quite nice with a roosting Merlin (Dværgfalk). It hunted successfully a Chaffinch (Bogfinke), which it was eating quite close from us on the beach. Just when we were enjoying this interesting observation, I got a call from Laima, that they caught a Water Rail (Vandrikse) in their first round. So, we left Knud alone and went into the ringing site to see this amazing bird. Actually, it was Laimas first Water Rail to see and not only hear and for all of us volunteers the first to see in hand. It was very exciting. It´s pretty amazing to realize how long their legs are and how beautiful their colours, especially because we caught an adult bird (3k+). Just in the moment we were about to release the bird, Simon spotted a Glaucous Gull (Gråmåge) migrating North, another nice observation this morning.

Male, adult Water Rail

Unfortunately, not many birds followed after the Water Rail. The nets kept quite empty, although we had relatively many recaptured birds. They are interesting, because we get a lot of data from recaptures. Jonas was very happy to age a Blackcap (Munk) correctly. These ones are tricky birds to age sometimes, so we had a moult session on how to age these birds yesterday. Apparently, Laimas little presentation already helped us understanding their moult better and to know for what to look in these birds. Besides that, its also noteworthy that we have new waders now. It is very nice to be in the ringing area now without getting wet feet. After the Water Rail was released, I went back to Knud helping him counting some birds. A bit later also Simon, Kristine and Martin were joining us. It turned out to be a fairly good observation morning with quite some Fulmars (Mallemuk). Also, we had one lonely Snow Bunting (Snespurv) left on the beach, while the others already left to their breeding grounds. In the afternoon Michaëla took some pictures again with the station’s camera. She got some Eiders (Ederfugle) and a Great-spotted Woodpecker (Stor Flagspætte) in front of the lens. Jonas helped us by doing some of the less fun office tasks during the afternoon. In the evening Laima made Sushi. It turned out to be amazing, and the rolling of it was also really fun. It was a very lovely dinner! Unfortunately, Kristine and Martin needed to leave for Copenhagen this afternoon, but we hope they can come back soon.

Hi folks :)

I hope you all had a lovely first half of the week!

After a couple of windy days, we were finally able to open the nets today and activate the reed trap. Daniel and Laima went ringing, and were able to test their brand new, homemade photo lab which worked wonders! Dunnock (Jernspurv), with the really cool photolab background!

Something quite unexpected happened, and while you are all hoping for some cool bird stories, I apologise as this isn't one. It is, though, one of our many "living with Daniel" stories. For some unknown reason, Laima realised that Daniel had blood on his hands, on his waders, on his binoculars, on his jacket, and on the new photo lab. No harm here, he just had the tiniest unnoticeable cut on his little finger that resulted in more laughter than scare in the end. :)
Aside from that, they ringed 8 birds including Blackcaps (Munk) and Dunnocks (Jernspurv). They also caught an unusual-looking Great Tit (Musvit) that was very pale looking but with a lot of rusty wash. Unfortunately, it escaped from the weighing tube so we have no picture. Hoping we can catch it again to show it to you!
Laima and Daniel also witnessed a Water Rail (Vandrikse) walking right under the net... Such a shame hahaha.

Laima, Kristine and Martin, with a Goldcrest (Fuglekonge)

In the meantime, Jonas and I went observing and Verdens Ende 3 with Kristine and Martin. The sunrise was wonderful, it was less windy than expected, and as we set up on the dune, I saw two cormorant-like birds that I pointed out to Jonas. "They're probably just Cormorants (Skarv)", I said. Jonas nearly gave up in trying to look for them. Good thing he didn't, as they were our only Shags (Topskarv) for the day! It was a great day for Gannets (Sule), and we saw a Black Guillemot (Tejst), a Black-throated Diver (Sortstrubet lom), a Northern Fulmar (Mallemuk), and a resting Merlin (Dværgfalk) right in front of us. Halfway in, our guests went to see the ringing and were super grateful to see birds up close! They came back for the last 10 minutes of observations and we then looked for the Great grey Shrike (Stor tornskade).

Jonas, Kristine and Martin, looking for the Great grey Shrike (Stor tornskade)

Laima and Daniel opened nets in the garden and set the whoosh net up in the hope of catching Magpies (Husskade), without success yet. Simon, who had lots of meeting today, was very sad that he wasn't able to come out with any of us.
After having had some lunch, our guests, Kristine and Martin, went shopping and went to the new harbour to try and see the Glaucous Gull (Gråmåge), some of us took a nap, Daniel studied for his marine mammal exam for next week, and Laima finished working on her presentation on ageing Blackcaps (Munk) and Dunnocks (Jernspurv) that she gave us at 3 pm. Blackcaps are actually harder to age than I imagined!

Kristine and Martin are now preparing us a curry that already smells incredible, and we will probably all fall asleep soon after.

Så er påsken forbi, og som vi mærkede igår er kulden kommet. Igen idag var det koldt og blæsende, Michaela og jeg tog ud for at tælle morgentrækket og vores kære gæster tog med. Grundet den stærke vind forblev nettene lukket og Daniel og Laima sov længe. Morgenen var lidt mærkelig, i og med at der næsten ingen mærkværdige fugle var. Men til gengæld havde vi nogle fine tal. Første time gav rigtig mange suler og senere på morgenen kom et pludseligt ryk af rødstrubede lommer, formentlig fugle der blev skræmt op af et stort containerskib. Det blev også til lidt rider og på gåturen hjem havde vi en fin stor tornskade der rastede omkring sardinkrattet, Michaela tog senere på dagen ud for at fotografere den. 


Vores gæster, Kristine og Martin gik fra verdens ende 1 til nordstrand og de havde bla, Spurvehøg, tårnfalk, fjeldvåge og de fine ynglende traner. Derhjemme fik Daniel læst op til sin eksamen og han siger selv at han var meget produktiv her til morgen, dog fik han ikke klaret alt han ville. Til gengæld fik han lavet en fin citrontærte og han lagde et æg ud i haven, i håb om at lokke nogle husskader til. Laima, fik også sovet godt og lavede nogle dejlige bagels til når Michaela og jeg kom hjem. Udover det blev der gået en lille tur hvor der også blev taget billeder af sortstrubet bynkefugl og hun arbejde lidt på en kommende præsentation med aldersbestemmelse af nogle fugle i hånden.


Senere tog vi med Kristine og Martin ud til Skarvsøen for at tælle skarverne og vi gik derfra og hjem. Eftermiddagen blev brugt på at lege med Aslan, Kristinas hund og selvfølgelig på at lave aftensmad, dofbasen osv.
Alt i alt en fin dag og vi glæder os til imorgen!

(Der var tid til lidt løjer på turen hjem fra skarvsøen)
