A windy day

fredag 27. september 2024

Af Emma Fabre

 

Today, there was lots of wind and constant rain until 11 AM. The observers split into two groups to cover all the bird migration. Ragnar and I went to Word’s End III to count the seabirds, while Augustin went to Word’s end I to count Passerines. Augustin was luckier than us, he saw many passerines like Siskins (Grønsisken), Bramblings (Kvækerfinke), Chaffinches (Bogfinke), Skylarks (Sanglærke) or Wood Pigeons (Ringdue), and even a Fulmar (Mallemuk). Rosa and Mara joined him before going ringing. Once the rain stopped, passerine migration increased.

At Word’s end III we didn’t see many seabirds despite the favorable wind, but we saw Reed Buntings (Rørspurv) and Meadow Pipits (Engpiber) landing in front of us, in dozens, joined by two Yellowhammer (Gulspurv). The flocks of passereine flew over us throughout the morning.

The ringing started later due to the rain and the wind. The nets were opened around 11 AM and closed at 4 PM. There were some nice species ringed, like a two Eurasian Treecreeper (Træløber), tree Bramblings (Kvækerfinke) and one Meadow Pipits (Engpiber).
