Grosbeak calling
tirsdag 29. oktober 2019
Esben and Laia were the lucky ones to open up the nets at Kabeltromlekrattet today. They were joined by Simon and me later, while Knud was out at Verdens Ende 3 for seawatching. Judith was still sick and stayed at home to work indorrs on our picture archive and our bird radar.
In the clear skies over our ringing site many birds were migrating and/or attempting to migrate: Many finches and thrushes, especially fieldfares (sjagger) could be heard from above. In the ringing itself we had two redwings (vindrossel) and a song thrush (sangdrossel) as well. Other than that we had many local birdwatcher visiting us at the ringing site. It seems like the ongoing pine grosbeak inviasion would attract everyone to get to Grenen. The visitors were not disappointed: The highlight of the day was a single adult pine grosbeak (krognæb) that flew over our ringing place calling out loud and later sit in a tree in Ellekrattet. You can hear a recording from its calls here on xeno-canto: https://www.xeno-canto.org/504786

Esben went to join with Knud after the first two rounds and was introduced into seawatching at Grenen. He got aquainted with many of the common species and saw for example many migrating razorbills (alk) and guillemots (lomvie). Also flocks of resting snow buntings (snespurv) and twites (bjergirisk) were highlights for the two observers.
After coming back from the morning, we had lunch and our daily swim in Kattegat. We used the fading sunlight in the afternoon to sew holes in our nets at Sardinkrattet and to cut some branches of berry trees that we intend to bring to Kabeltromlekrattet to attract berry-eating birds.
