Windy day with surprises!

Today we did not go to Kabletromlen. Instead we went to Jennes Sø. It was the first time that I went there, and I really enjoyed the place. However, we did not have that many birds in the nets. Only 5 birds (2 recaptures). The highlight of the morning was a Eurasian treecreper (Nordlig Træløber).

While we were ringing, Martin and Christina enjoyed the first hour of counting in at End World 3. After counting 500 razorbills and observing for second day consecutive the Horned Grebe (Nordiske lappedykker), they did not see that many birds during the next two hours. After that, Martin took a quick look at the waxwing in town, close to the cemetery, and he could spot a flock of 40 individuals. He even recorded them and made a SMS ringtone!

Christina worked hard today on the rodpoll session video and it is finally uploaded! Go and check it up, there is a lot of valuable information and a lot of work behind the video:

In the afternoon we had another surprise! We were imputing the data when Simon spotted a Red-backed Shrike (Rødrygget Tornskade) in our garden! We run and opened the nets hoping to catch it. Just a few minutes after, the bird was in the net! We were very happy to ring this unusual bird for this time of the year.

In the evening all of us sewed and repaired the nets, and later we had some cake (the one Christina did yesteday) while playing our favourite bord game (Wingspan).

Tomorrow we hope to get some more birds in the morning in Jenne Sø.
