Dear blog Readers

The ringing this morning was so nice because there were many birds which keeps the ringing busy. The weather was nice for birds because it was cloudy the hole morning and when that happen, there is always hope that is going to be good for ringing and birding .

The ringing this morning, we caught 82 birds of 10 species that include Redstart that was the first Redstart  to be caught during this years spring 2023. Those that were at the ringing site as volunteers are Lauren and Yin, with Simon who was there to oversee the ringing.

Yehonatan could not attend the ringing because he has not been feeling well since yesterday and today, but hoping that he will join us tomorrow or next because he is getting better now, the guest in the apartment were also at the ringing site. They were students with special education needs came to for a visit at the ring site too.

This morning I went out to help Snåphor from Aarhus University on the radar survey , which was a good experience for me , he tech me many things about the radar, but it was not good as expected because it was a bit windy out at the beach. But we were able to taget  up three species they are, Barnacle Goose, Red-throated Diver and Sparrow hakes .He has special Barnacles that can help you know the distance the bird is flying from were you are and the high from the grown, it was a good experience for me to lean.
