Cleanest Bird Observatory (?)

Yesterday evening we set up mist nets at Jerup Strand in order to catch Terns during the night. Beautiful sunset!

The night started slowly, and the first bird was a first year Redshank (Rødben), followed later in the morning by a Common Tern (Fjordterne).

We slept long today and started cleaning the station and the lab!

Almost all shoes are in order now - especially wellies (rubber boots) are important here - such as for ringing in Kabeltromlen that we plan for tomorrow morning.

In the afternoon, Lisa opened the freezer and we had a very interesting dessection session with a Great Crested Grebe (Toppet Lappedykker) in the Grey Lighthose yard - that even attracted a visitor from South Africa!

Ringmærkning (Jerup Strand):

Rødben - Redshank - 1

Fjordterne - Common Tern - 1
