Pigeons Ahoy!

Morning observation

As usual Thomas, Levi and I went to the morning observation. Henrik also joined today. The migration was alright. It was better then the other days we had. We had a decent amount of Red-throated divers “Rødstrubet lom”. Our highlight of today was a Black tern “Sortterne”, which was migrating to the north. It was a nice morning!

Todays observations can be seen here.

Ringing

Emma helped Morten out today with the ringing. It was a quite slow day with only 19 birds in the nets. But we did catch two Wood pigeons “Ringdue”! Emma was really happy with the pigeon and took a selfie with one of them. She also got some company from a Moor frog in the Lighthouse garden. We caught some long distance migrating birds such as the Willow warbler “Løvsanger” as well, so Morten could take some bloodsamples again.
