The good birds keep on coming

A lot of birders today came out to Verdens Ende 3.

Ragnar, Frederik and me went out observing this morning and were joined by a lot of Danish birders that came with the high hopes of seeing the Bown Booby (Brun Sule) which unfortunately didn’t show up today. But we still had a great time out on the dune and got a great view on a Long tailed Skua (Lille Kjove), one Red-necked Phalarope (Odinshane) and several Mediterranean Gulls (Sorthovedet Måge)! But the biggest highlight by far was Igor:)

The most handsome dog in Skagen!

Ezra and Rose were ringing with Oluf, they unfortunately didn’t catch big numbers of birds but the ones they caught were very cool! They managed to ring one Kingfisher (Isfugl), Nortern Wheatear (Stenpikker), Common Redstart (Rødstjert), beautiful birds!

In the afternoon we entered our data, gave the apartment a good cleaning and relaxed a bit. Right before dinner Ragnar and Frederick spotted a fishing boat coming in from the sea and found two Fulmars (Mallemuk) that were following it. We had dinner with Mikkel because hes sleeping at the station tonight.

Hans Christophersen took a picture of Rose and me carrying the scopes back to the station before dinner.
