Rita on visit and a Greater Short-toed was found

Today we split up again. Judith and Koen went for the observations at Verdens Ende 1 where they could see two Shags (Top Skarv) and a Sooty Shearwater (Sodfravet Skråpe) among other cool stuff.

At the same time, Yehonathan, Christian, Henning and I were ringing at Kabeltromelkrattet. The rain stopped the ringing as we had to close the nets but after this, some of us went out to the beach to observe the birds. Some Purple Sandpipers (Sortgrå Ryler), Lapland Bunting (Lapværling) and Reed Buntings (Rørspurve) were found but we had to stop due to the rain again.

When we came back, we found Rita. She was putting up together a hanger in order to hang our clothes. She also brought us some other very nice things. Thank you Rita!

Henning left the Observatory today but he will be back soon to ring with us.

Another important spot of today was the Greater Short-Toed Lark (Korttået Lærke) found late in the afternoon by Søren Skov. Unfortunately, we didn’t manage to see it, but maybe it will stay until tomorrow?
