A sunny day in Skagen

Hello everyone !

Today was a great day for birding and for us; we divided in 2 teams so we could both ring in Grenen and count the migrating birds at the beach. Max and Alice went sea watching and they spotted a red phalarope resting on the sand.

Martina, Rita and I ringed a decent amount of birds; a few willow warblers (løvsangers) among them. It is a sign of the beginning of the migration !

Later in the day, Alice went out to look at butterflies and found some rare Phengaris alcon !

Meanwhile, Martina observed a little Auk in the harbor quite close from the shore.

Our day ended with a nice chile cooked by Max !

I hope everyone had a day as nice as ours and see you tomorrow !
