Ringing with Henning

We went ringing at Kabeltromlen with Henning Ettrup, unfortunately we didn’t catch a lot of bids this morning. This meant we had plenty of time to show our new Volunteer Robbie how we work and give him an introduction to bird handling. The highlights of the morning were the Wheatear (Stenpikker) and the Meadow Pipit (Engpiber).

In the afternoon I showed Robbie how to enter the ringing data and some other tasks we must do at the station, Rosalina went grocery shopping with Henning. Robbie and I went up the lighthouse for a quick break to enjoy the view and spot some birds from up there, we saw some Terns and Cormorants. Simon came back from his Sommerhaus later in the afternoon where he was for the last days, he also visited the oldest active ringer in Denmark William Carøe Aarrestrup an old friend of his.
