Its raining goldcrests!

Another routine morning, Yehonatan, Michael, and Esben went to Kabletroumle to ring, while Dante, Lauren, and Simon went to North beach for observation, with high expectations to see a Steppe Høg. Ringing was very busy, with more than 70 birds on the first round, and total of over 200, almost all of then Goldcrests (Fuglekonge) and Robins (Rødhals).

 

At north beach, sadly no Steppe Høg was seen, but it was still a fantastic morning with planty of cool birds.The highlight was a Mediterranean gull (Sorthovedet Måge), and in Grenen the first White billed diver (Hvidnæbbet lom) for the year was seen.

The day way very busy for everybody in the station, we all came back back form the field around 15:00 exhausted, and took a very needed power nap, I think we are starting to feel the spring here, with less hours to sleep and the days getting more and more busy, and of course more and more birds everyday.
