Steppe Eagle Joined by Lesser Spotted Eagle

Today Lauren and Michael headed to Skarvsøen for six hours of ringing for the CES and so there was no ringing at Kabeltromlen. Each round had some birds to keep them busy. Meanwhile, I headed to World's End for observations and Dante headed south to Flagbakken to look for raptors. My highlight was two close Rosefinch (Karmindompap), which included a singing first summer male. Dante managed to see the Steppe Eagle for the second day in a row, and this time it was also joined by a Lesser Spotted Eagle! For the rest of the day we all napped and relaxed before Lauren and Dante cooked us all a delicious dinner.
