Late Shows and Missing Altogether

Rosa and Angela joined Knud at Nordstrand for observations with an unseasonably late Ringed plover being the highlight. There were no Snow buntings for the whoosh net to catch today, but the team was treated to a view of a Harbour porpoise (Marsvin).

Today myself, Justine, and Lone went on a walk to see if we could locate any dead Fulmars (Mallemuk) for Aarhus University study, starting at Tversted Strand and ending at Kandestederne, unfortunately, we didn’t find any today. Without any Fulmars to find we were focused on the birds, including a Great grey shrike (Stor tornskade) hunting a passerine just overhead. There were also many dead passerines that appear to have probably been caught out by the recent strong Southernly winds. On the way back to the observatory we visited Råbjerg Mile.

Last night Angela and I caught the 3rd Jack snipe (Enkeltbekkasin) of the season. After last night's success the team back out night catching tonight at Hirtshals.

Folk på stationen: Simon S. Christiansen, Augustin Sticksel, Rosalina Sø Leth-Nissen, Robbie Lawler, Angela Di Pumpo, Justine Costa, Knud Pedersen, Lone og Lars.
