Grey Lighthouse getting slowly ready for Christmas!!!

tirsdag 26. november 2019

Yotam was opening the garden nets today and we ringed subsequently in the morning hours. Next to the usual greenfinches (grønirisk), we ringed a yellowhammer (gulspurv) and a chaffinch (bogfinke). When the rain got heavier during the later morning, we had to close the nets again.

Judith and me were doing observations from the Grey Lighthouse at the same time, but a constant drizzle prevented us from having a good seawatch. Nonetheless were two male long-tailed ducks (havlit) seen and some very close red-breasted mergansers (toppet skallesluger).

The rain progressed and the rest of the day we stayed inside. Yotam started packing as he will leave tomorrow, but found the time to listen to and analyse more of our night recordings. Esben and Judith were fixing the old nests for most of the day. Laia was studying Catalan and Spanish bird names. I was entering our colour-ring readings of different gulls into the database.

In other news, the Grey Lighthouse is changing its appearance into a christmas-outfit. See it here:
