Wader Invasion at the Cormorant Lake!

Hello all!

Today Max and I opened the nets in Kabeltromle. Elena and Frank came to the first round. Observations we made together today from Kabeltromle, we saw quite a lot of Velvet Scoter "Fløjsand". On the first round I had a Barn Swallow "Landsvale" on the south side. We don't catch them that often so it's always nice to have one in hand. We also had two Spotted Flycatchers "Grå Fluesnapper" and Pied Flycatcher "Broget Fluesnapper" and a very young Yellowhammer "Gulspurv".

Simon also joined us came later at Kabeltromle. And Alfrida and Karin and Jørgen and Igor also paid us a visit. But there were not so many birds in the nets. When we went home we had lunch, Data entry and then it was time for a big cleaning, because tomorrow on our regular cleaning day we probably won't have so much time. The reason for this is, that when I went to Cormorant Lake today to see the Spotted Redshanks "Sortklire",  that Knud observed yesterday, I saw many other waders besides them: Lots of Common Snipes "Dobbeltbekkasin", Common Redshanks "Rødben", Golden Plover "Hjejle", Ruff "Brushane", Common Sandpiper "Mudderklire"....

Common Snipe "Dobbeltbekkasin", Spotted Redshank "Sortklire" and Yellow Wagtail "Gul Vipstjert"

And tonight we will try to catch at least a few! So we are again night active and tomorrow we will sleep in and also fill up energy for the next night, because then we will go again to Lindenbourg for Great Snipe chatching. We will tell you in the next blog how the night went. Take care, see you then!
