filmmaker day

This morning, I went to the obs. There were some interesting divers, unfortunately I didn’t see them. These included a single Great Northern Diver (Islom) and a duo of a Great Northern (Islom) and a Yellow-billed Diver (Hvidnæbbet Lom). There was a lot of corvid movement with Hooded Crows (Gråkrage) and Jackdaws (Allike), arriving from the sea with one Carrion Crow (Stortkrage) among the flocks. Two barnacle Gooses (Bramgås) were migrating alone. During the last hour, three groups of Golden Plover (Hjejle) flew around Grenen. One of them landed right in front of me, so I could take a picture of them.

During this time, Ragnar was leading a guided tour.

For the ringers, the birds were quite. They ringed 13 birds, with one Song Thrush (Sangdrossel) and two Bulfinch (Dompap, Lille europaea).

This afternoon we went out to film the recruitment video. We got distracted by some Kittiwake (Ride) near to the lighthouse. But we finally took some videos. Then the rain came, so we had to stop and go back to the lighthouse. Later in the evening we continued to take some videos.

Now Thomas and I are going out for a night catch! We hope to catch some of the Water Pipits (Bjergpiber) resting on the beach.
