Grey wagtail in the nets!

We started our day as usual, Dante and Lauren went out to worlds end counting migating birds, while me Yehonatan and Lisa went out ringing in kabeltromlen. Weather was fabulous, might be the warmest day we've had this spring so far, sun was shining and close to non winds. The ringing was quite busy with many (23) goldcrests (Fuglekonge) in the nets, and a total of 60 birds. Highlight from observtions are Black kite (Sort glente) Short-eared owl( Mosehornugle). 4 Rough legged buzzards (Fjeldvåge), 4 Arctic skua (Mellemkjove), 2 Peregrines (Vanderfalk) and many more great birds.

After a long morning for all of the volunteers, we all had to have a nap so we could continue our day with renewed energy. In the after noon we tried to put a net right outside the lighthouse to try and catch the Grey wagtails (Bjergvipstjert) that has been feeding on the rock, and we were very lucky to catch one of them! it is not so we catch one of theese out here, and it was really cool to see one in hand.

Later that evening, our new volunteer Michael arrived from The Gambia and we are all very excited to have here for the next 3 months.
