Pallid and Rosy!

God Aften,

In the morning it was quite windy when Solenn and Elena went to open the nets. Never-the-less, they prevailed and opened as many nets as they could but left hose most exposed closed. As expected with the higher winds in the morning, ringing was again slow following the recent trend of the past few mornings. With peaks of 2 birds per round every round we made the decision to close early and head home for a few hours rest before this evening of another attempt at catching the Great snipes (tredækker) near Aalborg.

Whilst at the ringing the Pallid Harrier (Steppehøg) was seen again quite close to Kabeltromlen along with a could Marsh Harriers (Rørhøg) and a Peregrine Falcon (Vandrefalk). Hanelie was also out Observing and also saw the Pallid and Marsh Harriers but apart from the resting sanderlings (sandløber) and Dunlins (Almindelig Ryle) there was nothing else of note or in noteworthy numbers. A Rosy Starling (Rosenstær) was also seen near Kabeltrolen after we had closed the nets so Max had rushed out to see if and got to see his first Rosy Starling. 

Simon came and took me Hanelie and Solenn to his mother’s house where we met Lisa who had been at home for a while. After this we went to Simons fathers place where he had very kindly offered to cook a BBQ for us as sustenance for the night ahead. From there we went to lindenborg, Simons father joined us for the first few hours and we met Oluf there. The rest I will leave to the blog writer to write about of partial success.
