Blåhals

We had another usual day at Kabeltromlen all the volunteers from the station went out ringing today. Mathilde and Ulysses opened the nets, and we began our ringing with some help from Knud. We caught some more willow warblers (Løvsanger) and chifchafs (Gransanger) than usual. Erik, Fleming, Thomas and Pia were also at Kabeltromlen. The surprise of the day was found in the nets at 9 o’clock by Frank, a male juvenile bluethroat (Blåhals)! It’s the first one I ever saw so definitely the highlight of my day and I’m hoping to see some more of these beautiful birds in the next three months at the fuglestation.

In the afternoon me and Ulysses went for a swim in the see behind the lighthouse and found dead harbor seal floating towards the shore. Sander prepared some delicious Pasta for the volunteers on his last evening here and we played a round of wingspan, a board game about birds, in the evening.
