Many Short-Eared Owls!

Dear blog Readers

Today my morning started with ringing, with a lot of expectation which were high because it cloudy most of the birds move that time nets where open 5:45 and it was 18 nets of 10 meters each.

The first round was so positive because we caught 12 birds which was good that I was hoping for that to continue, but the ringing could not continue as I Tod because later in the morning was so windy and there were a bit of rain which proud us to close our nets early because the nets were so visible. We had 9 species

The people who were at the ringing site were Simon, Yehonatan , Loran and Michael, there were some gest that include HANS CHRISTOPHERSEN who is a bored member of Skagen bird observatory .

The migration observation Dante was there and he has seen good number of different species the less follow

Grater Spotted Eagle / Stor Skireorn  1

White Billed Diver / Hvidnabbet Lom 2

Pallid Harrier / Steppe Høg 1

Wryneck / Vendchals 1

Fulmar / Mallemuk 2

In the afternoon we had a big shopping because it was loran birthday ,  when we return from there Dante and Loran were busy cooking for our dinner. I went with Yehonatan for bird witching because we told the Short-Eared Own has been seen around the beach yesterday and today, yesterday night we went for lamping for about two hour but we not see any. I was has happy this evening we were able to see about 7 of them which make me so happy because I have seen this bird for first time in my life.
