Migration counting and sight-seeing

Those two words sumarize well our day ! We were just three today : Amelie, Angus and me. We started the day by a slow but nice migration count from World’s End 1 under a heartwarming sunshine. The highlights were a lovely Nuthatch (Spaetmejse) flying next to us, the slowly increasing numbers of Coal Tits (Sortmejse) and the close Northern Wheatears (Stenpikker). Due to easterly winds, the movements at sea were close to zero ! We expect some westerly winds for the end of the week, which means more seabirds incoming !

During the afternoon, our tourist side took over and we went to Råbjerg Mile, the ever moving sanddune. We spend a few hours exploring the dunes, chilling under a still very welcomed sun and appreciating this beauty of the northern Denmark. To complete the picture, a distant Crane (Trane) was calling, adding a little it more of magic to this dashing landscape.

Simon is now back from his summer house, and with a nice weather, we are planning to ring a lot this week !

Also, Alfrida is our guest for the week and she will accompany us on ringing and counting throughout the week.
