Two new heads at Skagen and news from a shark

torsdag 30. juni 2022
af Alice Scalzo



This morning it was Esben and Rita's task to open the nets. Joined later by Hanelie and I. It was a medium ringing day quantity wise, but it was perfect for Rita to start ringing and practicing the aging and measures to get more comfortable. A lot of young birds are now visiting our nets, and today we had our first Great tits (Musvit) juveniles. We had the visit of Charlotte and Sørens family, former guests at the bird station and members of BirdLife Denmark and Danish Bird Protection Foundation, they got to see some of our birds, and Esben explained then how it all works. Soon afterwards we were closing the nets. Esben showed us his method of rolling the nets, so it was quite nice to practice something new.

Yes ! Two new heads coming to the station, Nathan from France and Max from the United States. They will stay at the station until beginning of August and mid September respectively. They traveled the whole day, and Knud and Lars Bo were kind enough to pick them up at the station.

Unfortunately Nathan discovered that his suitcase got lost. Hopefully the airport will find it quickly !

Rita is cocking for us, and it already smells delicious !

And Esben had the great idea of including a picture of our beloved shark, he said that many former volunteers will be pleased to see it ! So here you go, the shark is living his best life ;)

They also went downtown, there is a lot of music and activity down there now. They also enjoyed visiting the art museum. It was their last day here, we enjoyed their company and wish them a good trip back home.

Tonight we will be night active again ! We will go out to try to catch some Quails (Vagtel) with Lars Bo. It is the first time we try, let us hope for it to be a success ! We will update you tomorrow !


Have a good evening,

Alice.
