Gåsegrib

The morning started very slow but that changed when the raptors started to come. Among the first wave of Musvåge a Blå Glente was found! After deciding it did not want to cross to Sweden it landed in a tree just near the Fuglestation along Fyrvej. It then continued to the south never to be seen again. Not long after a Gåsegrib crackled through on zello flying around near Flagbakken. Wow! Hitching a lift (thank you Nicolas) we raced down to a tower in the klitplantation to see if we could see it. After 15 minutes of desperate scanning there it was. A vulture in Denmark!  This is only the second time this species has been seen in Skagen and the first time since 1985. With good feels all around we headed back to the observatory and I cooked quiches for dinner. A really nice day with two very special raptors.
