Census and bird songs analysis
tirsdag 15. marts 2022
Hi everyone !
This morning Hannelie and I went to Grenen for the bird migration census. We also brought with us two traps and seeds, hoping we could lure some Snow buntings ( Snespurv ) to ring them. We installed the traps a few meters away from were we were standing. But we saw very few of them, and none came close to the traps.
The morning was quite chilly even if there was little wind, and only a few birds were passing by. We mostly saw Jackdaws ( Allike ) and Whooper swans ( Sangsvane ) for the land migration, and Scoters ( Sortand ) and Gannets ( Sule ) for the sea migration.
Robbe also joined us a little later to help us with the migration.
We came back to the station and saw Marrion, which had stayed home to rest and work, and Simon.
Hannelie and Marion entered the data and updated the blog, and Robbe began listening to the recordings of the last night migration. Meanwhile I was going back to the observation point to fetch the recorder I had forgotten there, unfortunately it wasn't there anymore, so we welcome any news about it ;)
Some time afterwards we had lunch.
In the afternoon Hannelie, Marion and Robbe went grocery shopping. They brought back plenty of food for our next meals.
At 4:00Pm Simon, Hannelie and I attended to an online lecture about moult. It was very interesting, we learned about the causes and costs of moulting.
After our meeting we checked the night recording with Simon, and then continued a bit on our own.
And Hanelie made us a super tasty meal tonight !
In the day Simon worked on a few different projects, the raptor and radar project are progressing well so far, he had a few meetings, and also updated the list of rings for each bird species we will be using while ringing.
Susanne and Bjarne had a nice walk along the beach up until Grenen, they saw a lot of birds, even some they never had seen before. They could observe a few Sanderlings ( Sandløber ) running along the beach, and continued walking on the Western side of the coast. They also saw Red kites ( Rød Glente ) and White tailed eagles ( Havørn ).
