The big prayer day!
Another windy and sunny morning, I (Yehonatan) was able to join the ringing after a couple of sick days in bed, and it's good really good to be able to go out and participate in the outdoor activities again. I joined Lauren, Ying, Michael, and Simon in the ringing, while Dante went to wrolds end 1 as usual, i wonder if he'll join us one time in the ringing before i leave (The chances aren't good) but anyways we had a nice morning with some cool variety.
Male Pied flycatcher (Brogget fluesnnaper) from the ringing today.
Highlight from the field, are a While-billed diver (Hvidnæbbet lom), Great- Northen diver (Islom) that flew right overhead, and gave all of us an amazing view, and many more wonderful birds.

Many people joined us in the ringing this morning, a nice use of the Big prayer holiday, and it was quite full around the ringing table, we are always welcoming anyone to come and watch the ringing! One special guest we had the chance to meet today, was Ib Albin Olsen, which used to ring birds in Skagen back in the 60's-70's! How amazing it is that it is still done today, and how lucky we all were to learn from such an expirienced person, and he also had the chance to bring up some memories and see some nice birds today!
Its busy around the rining table!
