Wood warbler (Skovsanger) in the nets !

This morning, Viktoria and me went to open the nets at Kabeltromlen, while Amelie and Martin went for migration counting at the End of the World 1. Simon and Knud joined us later to help with the ringing. The weather stayed foggy and moist for a while, and we got very few birds in the nets.

While waiting for the next round, I wished that we would catch a Wood warbler (Skovsanger)… And very surprisingly, in the next round check, we had a Wood Warbler !

In the last net check, when we were closing, we suddenly got a lot of birds in the two last nets ! Some Yellowhammers (Gulspurv), Reed buntings (Rørspurv) and Redpolls (Lille Gråsisken) !

On their side, Amelie and Martin had a slow morning, not many birds were migrating, probably due to the weather, and they joined us for the last round.

Back to the observatory, we entered the data collected in the morning, and build up a moth trap in the lighthouse garden. Let’s see tomorrow morning if we catch anything !

At 2pm, Simon had a ringing guided tour at the Lighthouse and after helping with the practical part, Amelie, Viktoria, Martin and me decided to go to Skagen for a small excursion to the art museum.

We really enjoyed it and we discovered the history of Skagen through the painters that have lived there, especially Anna Ancher.

After the museum, we went for some waffles, something we had been talking about for weeks, but we hadn’t found the opportunity yet! This afternoon in Skagen was a nice break !

We came back home in late afternoon and shared dinner cooked by Viktoria. Tomorrow, we will go ringing and migration counting again, and we hope for a more busy day !
