Some firsts for the season for us…
torsdag 27. marts 2025
… Arctic Skua “Almidelig Kjove” at the obs, Wheatear “Stenpikker” at Grønningen and Agriopis marginaria “Grågul frostmåler” and Orthosia gothica “Gotisk forårsugle” in the moth trap.
Morning observations:
Today I was at the morning observation with Joseph and Henrik! We saw some pretty nice birds this morning which we don’t see every day, like the Arctic skua “Almindelig kjove”, Glaucous gull “Gråmåge”, Common tern “Fjordterne”, Horned larke “Bjerglærke” and even a White tailed eagle “Havørn” came by!
The Yellow-legged gull “Middelhavssølvmåge” was also there again resting on the beach. There was also somebody with us at the observation this morning, because he really wanted to see this gull.

Todays observations can be seen here.
The ringing:
It was less wind than yesterday morning so more nets could be opened but they just caught four more birds than yesterday. I decided to make this a picture blog, because there is not so much more to say.
The little Goldcrest "Fuglekonge" did not understand that it was free when I wanted to release it and sat on my hand for a while until I gently moved my hand to make it fly away. Picture: Hanelie Sidhu
I thought there are not really many pictures we take af Wrens "Gærdesmutte" in hand, so I decided to take one for the blog. Picture: Hanelie Sidhu
The moths:
Yesterday evening, I went to check the traps and that was a good decision, else a new one for me would maybe have left, it was Agriopis marginaria “Grågul frostmåler”, that was on the window of the lab in the lighthouse garden by my small trap.

In the morning, I found another new one in the trap, which was Orthosia gothica "Gotisk forårsugle".

Today I will do a list again and I hope also in the next days I will have enough moths that it is worth to do a list.
In the afternoon Henrik made us some danish Smørrebrød. Later I (Hanelie) went to Grønningen by bike, hoping to find a yarelli or a Ring Ouzel “Ringdrossel”. I did not but I saw my first Wheatear “Stenpikker” for the year for me, so it was worth the trip.
Joseph got picked up by Bent and they went on a meeting about the protection of breeding shore birds.
At the station: Marit Nillissen, Henrik Böhmer, Joseph Stephan and Hanelie Sidhu
