Enjoying the light hours
Finally, we got to enjoy a full ringing day! No rain, and even the sun came out, just for a moment.
There weren’t to many birds in the nets, so we had some time to birdwatch between the rounds for a change. It was a nice calm morning.
In the observation 3 Puffins (lunder) were seen today!
Yotam had some common species that he wanted to ring, today he had his first ringed Bullfinch (dompap)! 1Cy, male. Photo: Lisa Flam
Afternoon we decided to take advantage of the light hours and go birdwatching on the beach. There was a low tide, so most of the birds were pretty far away. We could see many Scoters (sortænder), a Red-throated Diver (rødstrubet lom), 2 Purple Sandpipers (sortgrå ryler) and 8 seals (sæler)!
David, Yotam, some birds and a beautiful sky. Could I ask for more? Photo: Lisa Flam
