Trip to Hirsolm!

I (Yehonatan) was very exited to be able to join Oluf and Maybritt, for long awaited day trip to the island Hirsolm today.  The small island is home for around 10,000 breeding birds, such as Black head gull (Hættemåge), Sandwich tern, (Splitterne), Brent goose (Knortegås), Red breasted merganser (Toppet Skallesluger) and the island most famous one with around 1000 breeding pairs, Black guillemot (Tejst). I had an amazing time around island (On the way back got a little seasick, but still) and was lucky join a group of expirienced birders.

What a cool bird, had some amazing time with the local Black Guillemots.

Some of the breeding Sandwich Terns in diffrent stages of making the next generation.

Brents taking off.

Meanwhile at the station Dante and Lauren went observing as usuall, while Michael join Michael Anker to try and ring some birds in Jenne Sø. Not many highlights from observations due to not so nice weather and strong winds and rain, but 3 Great northern divers (Islom) always make your day nicer. Meanwhile in Jenne Sø, The Michaels had a lovely morning with the first Lesser whitethroat (Gærdesanger) that we ringed this spring, and some Redpollls (Gråsisken) as you must have while ringing in Jenne sø!
