Honey Buzzard's day

Today was a quieter ringing day than yesterday with only 20 new ringed birds but still sunny weather. I was ringing together with Hebe, Marie and Simon and we caught 2 male sparrow hawks which was pretty awesome. I haven’t seen them in hand before. Jørgen and Igor visited us again at the ringing spot. I really like them having around :-) And luckily, Oluf Lou supported us during ringing and sparrow hawk aging.

Daniel, Dante and Joakim were at Grenen observing. It was a very, very good day for Honey Buzzard’s – they saw about 100! They also saw Great Northern Diver, Red Footed Falcon and Parrot Crossbill. Fortunately, we were also able to see many Honey Buzzard’s at the ringing spot (even though not as many as the guys).

About noon Rita came and gave us a new bike for the station – thanks a lot for that Rita! :-)

Later the day Daniel and I enjoyed the sunny weather and ate cake at the Café– they just have the best cake Denmark there!

In the evening Hebe’s mom came for a few-day-visit and joined us for the lovely dinner Hebe cooked.
