Sasha`s last day

We went out this morning for ringing at Grenen but we closed the nets early again, because there were barely any birds. There was also a guided tour for two German guys by Simon and Daniel, so they opened the nets at the Lighthouse Garden for two hours. They also caught birds, but it was about as much bird activity as at Grenen (so not that much…).
Sasha and Morten went out sea watching with Rolf Christensen. They talked a lot about identifying birds flying over the sea and bird observation at a different spatial scale. The usual Gannets foraging at Grenen were very close to shore and they also saw Great Skua (Storkjove), Arctic Skua (Almindelig Kjove), Fulmar (Mallemuk) and lots of Reed Buntings (Rørspurv).

In the afternoon we had another great session with Simon about moult strategies and he created a game with different scenarios we had to solve. We learned quite a lot.
But the best part from the afternoon was the cake Morten brought for us from the café. That was very kind and delicious.

Later at the day, Simon’s dad Gunnar arrived with pizza and we celebrated Sasha’s last evening (sad to say!). We`ll miss her very much!

Birds we ringed: 3 Blackcaps (Munk), 2 Robins (Rødhals), 1 Reed Bunting (Rørspurv), 1 Dunnock (Jernspurv), 1 Blue Tit (Blåmejse).
