Garden Tiger

While the wind was very low the last days, this morning started more windy. Nevertheless, Rose and I went out to Kabeltrommle. Some nets in the reeds were to exposed but we could still have half of the nets open. The birds did not seem to like the weather to much (or they slept in today ;), however, we caught the first birds after 06:00. It was a rather slow ringing day, with few birds, I used the time between the rounds to start on a social media post on Barn Owls „Slørugle” and Rose read a book. After ringing, we exchanged a net and then went back to the station.

I had the UV light on last night and went straight to my moths trap. I had some new species and I would like to show you some highlights from the last nights when I had the UV light on.

In the meantime, Emma had already returned to the station after morning observations. There were some more birds than the last days, the highlight was a lightmorph Arctic Scua ”Almindelig Kjove”.

Today´s observations of observers in the area typed into DOFbasn can be seen here.

Peter came to the station with his dog Olga and he and Simon exchanged a cable of the radiotelemetry receiver. Now it is functioning again.

In the afternoon, we had a meeting, after Rose and I went outside to repair a net while Emma was cooking.

Tomorrow we will be out for observations and ringing at the CES site Skarvsøen.

At the station: Emma Fabre, Rosemary Fricke, Hanelie Sidhu, Simon S. Christiansen, Peter Kristensen and Olga, Louise, Nor and Mikkel Østergaard.
