Barred Warbler strikes again

Today observations were undertaken by Augustine and Thor with Knud Pedersen. The highlights out to sea were 8,000 Common Scoters (Sortand). 135 Sanderlings (Sandløber) and c. 20 Great Skuas (Storkjøve). We also had 4 Caspian gulls (Levantmåge), a Purple sandpiper (Sortgrå Ryle), and 1 resting bar-tailed godwit (Lille Kobbesneppe) on the beach. 

The other half of the team went out ringing, catching around 50 birds. Whilst there were no standout species in the nets, we did manage to spot a juvenile hen harrier (Blå Kærhøg) over the dunes.

Away from Kabeltromlen, Michael Ancher had a successful day ringing at Jennes Sø, including the second Barred warbler (Høgesanger) for the autumn.

 All-round it was a successful day, but we are sad to say goodbye to Thor, Amelie, and Michael Fink, all of whom we hope to see in the future.
