Focus on Sandwich Terns

Colour-ringed Sandwich tern

In the early morning, we opened mist nets at Kabeltromlen – weather forecast promised cloudy and less windy conditions. But the activity was relatively low, and we had to close the nets earlier due to rain. It was worth it to bring the waders! We ringed in the tent and Eric came by and had a closer look at the two Icterine warblers (Gulbug) and the two flycatcher species (Fluesnapper).

Amandine was really happy to ring a Yellowhammer (Gulspurv).

 Lisa was reading rings of Sandwich Terns. Later on Simon came in with a Sandwich Tern that was caught accidently by Lars Bo and his friend while fishing. This is the first color-ringed tern in Skagen. So pay attention when you see a white ring with black “LNA”!

 

Sandwich tern ready for take-off!

In the afternoon we feed the computer with the latest ringing data, managing the picture archive and took a closer look at several moult limits with Simon. Amelie prepared a delicious lasagna.
