Sooty Shearwater and first Snow Bunting today !

Angela and Robbie went observing this morning. The weather was really nice and Angela could train herself identifying gulls and count Eiders (Ederfugl). All the observers had the chance to observe pretty well a Sooty Shearwater (Sodfarvet Skråpe) at the tip (see our youtube video) and two Caspian Gulls (Levantmåge).

Augustin and I opened the nests this morning. Rosalina came for the first round and we all trained at ringing and applied the lessons that we had on Saturday to age the birds by founding the moult limit. The last round was one of the busiest with a group of Blue Tits (Blåmejse) and two Lesser Redpolls (Lille Gråsisken). 

During the afternoon, we went to observe and recognize birdsongs with Simon. We saw our first Snow Bunting (Snespurv) of the season! A really good observation for the end of the day !
