Bye Bye Skagen

Today we had our last ringing day together with Amandine and Viktoria. Unfortunately, they had to leave today, because they will both start a new job soon. The Kabeltromlen will feel really empty without them…

We had a rather slow morning, but still caught some nice birds. Today we had another Wren (Gærdesmutte) in our nets.

Then I could ring a Great Spotted Woodpecker (Stor Flagspætte) for the first time.

Also a nice surprise was a Northern Wheatear (Stenpikker).

Kristina was also happy to ring her first bird today and extracted them from the mistnets!

Meanwhile Martin was doing migration counts at World’s End 1 for 2 hours, then he joined Knud at World’s End 3 and was happy to see Arctic Skuas (Almindelig Kjove), Caspian Gulls (Kaspisk Måge) and a Northern Lapwing (Vibe).

For the last few days Simon had a nice time at his summer house. He observed waders at the beach but wasn’t able to catch any.

After the ringing I baked some Goodbye-Pancakes for Viktoria and Amandine and we did some tasks at the observatory. Martin listened to the night recordings of bird calls he has taken for the last three days with his microphone at Kabeltromlen.

Then we said goodbye to Viktoria and Amandine, hopefully we’ll see you again soon!

Our guests Niklas and Falke visited Grenen and watched the seals, of course with enough distance to not disturb them. They also visited the exhibition in the lighthouse and really liked it. After that they had a swim in the sea with many nice waves today.

For dinner Niklas and Laura prepared a really delicious Couscous with Halloumi and Hummus for us and we had some Danish dessert.
