Fuglehus

Friday means splitting of ringing teams : Chris and Amelie went to join Michael Ancher at Jennes Sø while Christina, Aurora, Simon and I went to Kabeltromlen.

The good choice in terms of number of birds was definitely Jennes Sø this morning with a good busy round with over 60 Redpolls (Gråsisken), leading to a around 50 bird morning. And at last but not least, they enjoyed cupcakes baked by Michael and one shot of homemade alcohol with Michael and Jenne ! According to Chris, this morning was a great experience of European ringing !

At Kabeltromlen, things were quite different with considerably low numbers of birds, unlike we could have guessed considering the good weather the night before. Luckily, a flock of Blue Tits (Blåmejse) found its way to our nets to get at least a decent round. Being more free than usual allowed us to check around for some nice birds in Grenen and we enjoyed amazing views at a young male Goshawk (Duehog) sitting on top of a wooden pole. We also had the luck to see a few Waxwings and Parrot Crossbills migrating, not the worst birds to look at !

Unfortunately, Aurora’s stay came to an end and she had to leave today back to her home in England. It was lovely to have you here, work and live with you during these last two weeks. We already miss you !

This afternoon, it rained.

In the evening, Jeppe and Esben arrived making us 6 now, until Palo arrives tomorrow. It looks like we’re are going to have a nice crowdy and funny weekend all together !!
