Passerine migration begins

torsdag 26. september 2024
af Mara Glane

Hej!

The day started with perfect weather for ringing. So that's what we did. Rosa, Emma and I, joined by Karen, had a great time at ringing and a good amount of birds (58!). The highlight was probably a female Brambling/Kvækerfinke. A first for Emma was a beautiful adult Lesser Redpoll/Lille Gråsisken. Other than that we had a lot of Chiffchaffs/Gransanger, Blackcaps/Munk and Robins/Rødhals.

The observers also had a great migration day. Ragnar and Augustin at World's End 3 saw a lot of Reed Buntings/Rørspurv, Grey Wagtails/Bjergvipstjert, Yellow Wagtails/Gul Vipstjert and Goldcrests/Fuglekonge migrating, After 10:30 around 3000 Meadow Pipits/Engpiber flew over. The highlight of the observation, and luckily recorded, was the call of a Richard's Pipit/Storpiber!

In the afternoon Ragnar brought the bike to town to be fixed. So we soon will have three working mountain bikes again! We are looking forward to a little talk about Skua-/Kjove-identification and ageing by Augustin tomorrow, on which he worked on in the afternoon. After that he had a blast observing a lot of Fulmars/Mallemuk on the sea in the rain. I did a quick trip to Jennes Sø before the rain started, which propaply won't stop before we go out tomorrow.
