A long awaited busy day at Kabeltrommeln
lørdag 16. april 2022
Hello dear blog readers,
The sunny and quite windless day today - we had a maximum of 3 m/s - brought us many birds in the nets today. And it was really high time for a day like this after we had not been able to ring for about 2 weeks due to the weather. And we had our best ringing day so far this season. Esben, Alice, Robbe and I set off to Kabeltrommeln in the morning and we didn't regret to be so many today as it was - as I said - busy.
Pablo, a former volunteer and his girlfriend also came, and Pablo also ringed a few birds with us. Michael also joined us for the whole morning and watched us ringing. We had the first Songthrush "Sangdrossel" and the first Redwing "Vindrossel" this season at Kabeltrommeln in the nets. Otherwise, we had mostly Robins and Wrens.
Dunnock "Jernspurv"At 11:30 we closed the nets and Esben, Alice and I returned to the station, while Robbe lay in the sun and rested at Kabeltrommeln. While we were very busy with the ringing, Manuel and Knud had a slow morning Obs at Nordstrand. After the observations, Manuel and Knud went to Cormorant Lake. 35 nests are already occupied by Cormorants "Skarv". There are also 15-18 incubating adults. They also saw Anders and Dorte also came to the Morning Obs for a while today. Still, there were some highlights, they had 3 Arctic Skuas "Almindelig Kjove", a Black Guillemot" Tejst", a Black-Troated Diver "Sortstrubbet Lom" as well as an overflying Horned Lark "Bjerklærke" and another Barn Swallow "Landsvale" - spring is finally coming! After the observation, Manuel and Knud went to Cormorant Lake. 35 nests are already occupied by Cormorants "Skarv". There are also 15-18 incubating adults. They also saw 6-7 pairs of Red-necked Grebes "Gråstrubet Lappedykker". After that, Manuel went to the harbor and saw finally the Glaucous Gull "Gråmage". At noon we all met again at the station, then it was napping time for some of us. By the time I got out of bed, Robbe had started entering ringing data and Alice was working on her online tracking courses. I then continued with the data entry so that Robbe could go into town, to the harbor and a pub and enjoy the cheery atmosphere and do some drawing. Manuel continued working on the nocmig today and is almost finished. Esben had a bit of work to do for university today. Anders and Dorte met Anders brother-in-law and a friend after they left the observers. They also had some nice bird observations: they saw 14 Cranes "Trane" very low. They also took a bike ride to Flaubakken and Sandmilen. There they saw a Wood Lark "Hedelæerke". They also cooked us a very good dinner in the evening: we had Paella, which we all enjoyed very much, thank you!
Tomorrow we hope for another good day of ringing, and hopefully some highlights at the Obs. We also have the Open Freezer day tomorrow. So sleep well into Easter Sunday, good luck with the egg hunt, I hope you find lots, wish us lots of birds in return! Take care!
