Winner of the day : the Robins !

Today Esben, Bjørn and Frederik opened the nets then Lisa, Simon and I came for the first round. We had a good morning with a good number of birds, the species we caught the most was the Robin (Rødhals). It was nice because we need to catch some to put the tags to follow them with the antenna for the radiotelemretry project. Today we tagged 3 new Robin so now we have thagged 14 so far, during last night some of them seems to have left Skagen. We also get a couple of Siskin (Grønsisken) in the net this morning ! It’s not often that we caught them even if we hear them a lot in migration. On the picture you can see the male with a beautiful yellow color.

We also get a recapture of a Goldcrest from Norway! It is even more cool because it is an adult bird! We will know when it has been ringing when we will receive the answer from the ringing center.

Joakim and Daniel went at northbeach for the migration counting with Knud. It was a quiet migration morning at the beginning but when the hit came the raptor start to arrive on good number with Red Kite (Rød Glente), Black Kite(Sort Glente), Buzzard(Musvåge), Routh legged buzzard(Fjeldvåge). The afternoon was very good too with Spoonbill(Skestork) and White stork(Hvid Stork) in the air.

During the afternoon we clean the apartment all together and some of them went out to have a good observation of the Short-ear owl (Mosehornugle).

We found some strange rock today on the way to Jennes sø, someone left them with very nice drawing, very original and a nice surprise
