Sea birds showing well

Robbie and Angela opened the nets this morning at Kabeltromlen, Justine and Rosalia came on the first round for the ringing. They had a nice day of ringing today and got some practice with the aging of Munks and Gransangers. They were joined by Lisa and Simon to supervise the ringing. I was out observing and had a nice morning in the field.

This morning four sooty shearwaters (sotfaveret skråpe), two sabine gull (sabinemåge), one leachs storm petrel (stor stormsvale) and three Lapland bunting (lapværling) have been seen on Grenen! A really good morning for observations today. I was out for seven hours for observations and had a lot of fun birdwatching with the local birders.

Michael was again ringing at Jennes Sø where the Lesser redpolls (Lille gråsisken) was dominating.

In the evening the volunteers of the station, Simon and Lisa were invited for a delicious dinner at the blink restaurant at the lighthouse, and in the night myself and Lisa will go nightcatching.
