Early start for CES ringing

This morning began a little earlier than usual, with Joakim, Marie and I heading out to Jenne Sø to open the nets for CES ringing. We were joined By michael and Simon and though we didnt catch a large number of birds, it was a lovely morning with a beautiful Topmejse in the nets being a highlight for the morning!! We were joined by a ringing tour for some time, who were very happy to watch the process!

Meanwhile, Dante spent the morning at Nordsttrand with many other observers; some of the highlights of his morning being a hevepsevåge, Atlingand and one of the first Gøge!

Back at the observatory, we got ready for an afternoon of bird festivalling. It was a good afternoon, with lots of visiters and two Løvsanger in the garden nets during the ringing tour. In the evening, we set up barbeques outside! We were joined by a good number of others, and also a passing Steppehøg!!!! It was a lovely time outside, with good food and lots of laughs!! 

Another really great day here in Skagen.
