Spurvehøg i nettet!

Michael, Yehonatan and I were out and opened the nets at 5:20am, with clear skies and a beautiful sunrise promising a lot of birds in the nets. Even so we hardly caught any today, probably due to the wind coming from northeast which discourages a lot of birds from migrating over the ocean.
In total we caught 5 birds today, where two of them were recaptures. Luckily enough the last bird was a female Sparrowhawk (Spurvehøg) which we had a good look at.

Dante and Laura went observing at Verdens Ende and had a good day with a good range of different birds, including 7 Ospreys (Fiskeørn), a female Pallid Harrier (Steppehøg), a Black Woodpecker (Sortspætte) and the highlight of the day being an immature Golden Eagle (Kongeørn) coming over.

The Greater Spotted Eagle (Stor Skrigeørn), living up to its name, was also spotted at Skagen but it never came to Grenen.
