Dobbelbekkasin in the nets today

What a nice and sunny day! We really enjoyed having some sun in our faces today, even though it was quite chilly in the morning. Martin had a nice counting session at the Kattegat Bunker with a lot of Razorbills (Alk) and Guillemots, 250 in total!

In the meantime, Christina, Angus, Augustin, Simon and I had a good ringing session. Christina was very escited to ring her first Common Snipe (Dobbeltbekkasin) today. Also, our guests and Jorgen and Igor joined us at Kabeltromlen.

Later in the morning Augustin joined Martin and was happy to learn new species with Martin as a good teacher. They took some nice pictures through the scope at World’s End 3.

 

At the ringing station in Kabeltromlen we had some visitors today. A group of biology students from Aalborg came and enjoyed watching us ring. They will be doing a university project about Robins (Rødhals) and their migration habits, so they were lucky to see some Robins in hand today.

In the afternoon Martin, Angus and Augustin had a little boys’ trip to Jennes Sø to put up some mist nets there. Meanwhile, I started to sew some of the holes in the nets at Kabeltromlen. It is important to maintain the nets, so they can be used for a long time.

In the evening all of us went to Jerup to do some Birdwatching there. We had a good evening with Brant Geese (Knortegås), Tundra Bean Geese (Tundrasædgås), some Kestrels (Tårnfalk), a Red Kite (Rød Glente) and some nice flocks of Greylag Geese (Grågås). From a distance we could observe a Greater Blackbacked Gull (Svartbag) killing a Blackheaded Gull (Hættemåge).
