The birds didn't fly much today

Today there was very little wind. Although ducks are known to drift out of the waddensea when there are Southwestern winds. But today with little wind, it seemed that some ducks drifted out of the waddensea and would like to correct for this change. We had some nice groups of ducks, even in mixed flocks. Although most of them flew with their own species. The wind also meant that there was very little movement of common scoter and red throated divers, unlike the other days when these species made up for most of the count. The wind resulted in a rather slow day at the ringing, although 4 new birds were caught, including the first Blackbird for the season. Hopefully many more will follow!

After the standardised work at the station, Bent found a group of four white tailed eagles just outside of the station. They could be observed nicely, and out of the wind and in the sun, it felt like April.
