CES Ringing, Cormorant (Skarv) and Sandwich Terns (Splitterne) counting

The day started ealry at Jennes Sø, where we carried out a CES ringing session with the help of Henning. We caught very few birds, however we got two very nice ones : a juvenile Goldcrest (Fuglekonge) and a recaptured Tree pipit (Skovpiber). Uller, Lotte, Maya and Max joined us at 6am and got to see quite a few birds, including the Goldcrest, a Great tit juvenile (Musvit), a Crested tit (Topmejse), 2 Wrens (Gaerdesmutte) and a Chiffchaff (Gransanger).

After the CES ringing, we went to the Cormorant Colony (Skarv) for the breeding survey. Counts were identifical to the last time we went, and fortunately, no more nests have been predated this time !



In the evening, Henning brought us to Jerup strand to see if we could find some Sandwich terns (Splitterne) with rings and try to read them. We indeed found some Sandwich Terns, but none of them were wearing a ring, metal or color rings. Alongside the terns were a lot of waders such as Dunlins (Almindelig ryle), Oystercatcher (Strandskade), Bar-tailed Godwit (Lille kobbersneppe), Common Ringed Plover (Stor præstekrave). We also saw some Cranes (Traner) and a lot of Gulls (Måge) !
