Jack Snipes!

søndag 4. oktober 2020
af Christina Stinn

Today it was too rainy and windy to go ringing or migration counting. We enjoyed an indoor day and performed the ever-present administrative tasks regarding bird ringing, including checking data sheets and entering data.

Martin detected song thrushes and redwings in his nocturnal sound recordings. Hopefully, the next few days will yield more bird calls when the wind decreases. Martin also worked on the European Bird Watch (EBW) data from yesterday and sent the records from two Danish bird observatories to Slovakia. Soon we will have the results from all European bird observatories – so stay tuned, we will let you know how many millions of birds were recorded across the continent yesterday!

In the afternoon Mortne Bentzon donated a box of beer for us. Will come in handy when celebrating the next rare bird! Thank you Morten!

Esben went home today. He had come here wanting to ring a lot of birds, but the weather didn’t cooperate all week, so he had few opportunities. However, he went night catching every night during his stay with us and made everyone very happy last night when he brought back not just one, but TWO Jack Snipes (Enkeltbekkasin)! These are the first Jack Snipes (Enkeltbekkasin) caught at Skagen Fuglestation.

Tonight Simon and Amelie will go out night catching together and are hoping for more Jack Snipes (Enkeltbekkasin) or a Pink-footed Goose (Kortnæbbet Gås). Now wouldn’t that be amazing!

No Ringmærkning data today
