Golden Plover Migration and Tredækker Prep

Hello!

Firstly, apologies for the late blog update but as I'm sure most of you are aware, we were a tad busy yesterday afternoon and evening which you can read about in the next update!

In the morning, it was too windy for ringing at Grenen so Hanelie joined Manuel up at the tip for some migration counts ad observations. For the most part, movement and counting was slow but the morning was saved by some decent movement of Golden Plovers (Hjejle) and a flushed Grasshopper Warbler near Worlds End 3. 

Kirsten also departed in the morning, but only temporarily as she will be returning in October for some more ringing and Skagen experiences. With this Departure also came our new guests Alfrida and her sister who will be staying for the next week. 

Elena, our new volunteer also arrived and will be staying for two weeks to improve her ringing skills and Sea bird identification. 

Finally, after gathering essential snacks and equipment for the upcoming evening of Great Snipe (Tredækker) catching, Me, Hanelie, Manuel and Max got the train to Skalborg where Niels Eriksen had kindly agreed to collect us from the station. We then drove to the site for the evening where we met with Simon, Lisa and Lars Bo and the rest I will leave to Hanelie to describe how the night progressed.
