Goodbye Kabeltrommelkrattet!

Today Judith and I went to open the nets at Kabeltrommelkrattet. Christian and Yotam joined for the first round. There were not a lot of birds in the nets so we closed early and started to shut down the ringing site. We also did some observations while ringing. The highlights were Waxwings (Silkehale), Great Grey Shrikes (Stor Tornskade) and over 100 Crossbills (Lille & Stor Korsnæb).

We managed to take them down and also, we carried all the poles, ropes, nets, chairs, and the stuff we usually have out at Kabeltrommelkrattet by bike to the Bird Observatory.

When we arrived at the Observatory we put everything in its place and we eat lunch. After that, Yotam and I opened the nets in the garden while Christian was talking with Pål from Lista and showing him around the Bird Observatory. When he finished, he joined us and we ringed some birds, mostly Greenfinches (Grønirisk) and also we had 2 Yellowhammers (Gullspurv). Judith joined the ringing a bit later. And Knud visited us with two friends. We closed the nets at 15:00h.

So then, Judith started to sew the nets while Yotam was listening to some recordings of night migration calls and I was starting to write the blog of today.

After a while, I joined Judith and together we sewed some nets (3 in total).

Christian made a really nice dinner that tasted really good!
