Two Birthday Birds for Robbe
torsdag 24. marts 2022
Hello dear blog readers!
Welcome to the first birthday blog of the station this year! Our birthday boy is Robbe, who turns 24 today. Marion and I went to Kabeltrommeln in the morning to open the nets. When we got to the ringing table, I asked Simon in wonder what was doing the little wooden Danish flag on the table, but it was of course because it's Robbe's birthday, the other day we all had a nice chat with Simon who taught us about Danish birthday customs. So Robbe is certainly quite happy not to turn twenty-five unmarried as he is, and to be thrown cinnamon while being in underwear. Although we as foreigners did not want to take that so seriously with the age, since I have seen no masses of cinnamon at the station, Robbe has probably been lucky again, although the day is not yet over, maybe still enough cinnamon can be found. For the first round also Robbe and Alice came to Kabeltrommeln. Today was not so busy in the nets, but there was a birthday bird for Robbe, at least here a rarity: A Treecreeper ss. familiaris "Nordlig Treelober".

Of course, it was Robbe who ringed his birthday bird.
Also we were happy about the first Bullfinch "Dompap", a female, in the net.

Marion and I drove to the station after closing the nets, we had an early lunch and then entered the ringing data.
Today´s ringed birds:
Chiffchaff "Gransanger": 3
Treecreeper ss. familiaris "Nordlig Treelober": 1
Goldcrest "Fuglekonge": 1
Wren "Gærdesmutte": 2
Robin "Rødhals": 2
European Bullfinch "europaea" "Lille Dompap": 1
Chaffinch "Bogfinke" : !
Blackbird " Solsort" : 2
Total: 13
I then sat down at Nocmig, Marion rested a bit. Robbe and Alice meanwhile went to Thomas at Grenen after the ringing. He was already waiting for them with the laser binoculars and since it was sunny and no longer foggy, they had a much better day than Robbe, Thomas, and I yesterday. And there was another surprise for Robbe, the earliest Barn Swallow "Landsvale" in Skagen, the last record to turn up at Skagen was the 26. March in 2010. Today they were able to "shoot" many Raptors with the Laser Binoculars: Buzzards "Musvåge", Red Kites "Rød Glente", Sparrow Hawks "Survehøg", and tree White-tailed Eagles "Havørn". Of course, there is birthday cake, it just came out of the oven, Alice baked us a carrot cake! And also she is making Ginger cookies, it smells delicious at the station! To celebrate, we're having dinner in town today, then there's a game night planned with Wingspan. So we have a long and promising evening ahead of us.
See you again tomorrow, take care!
