Wind, Rain, Islom and Solsort

Observations:

Blæsten fortsatte til morgen, men var dog gået i en meget sydlig retning hvilket ikke er optimalt for ihvertfald havfugle, og det blev det heller ikke rigtigt til, lige udover en Islom som kom flyvende mod nord fra sydhukket af, hvor den også blev set, og én enkelt Almindelig Kjove. …ellers var det meget stille over havet..

Der kom til gengæld, på trods af den ret kraftige vind, lidt småfugle hoppende mellem klitterne. Flest Engpibere med 637, og også en god sjat Bjergvipstjerter med 13 stks..

Efter obsen sagde vi farvel til Lorin, som har været har i 3 ugers tid, og har været en stor hjælp på obsen, vi har set en masse fede fugle, bla. forsøgt os med NocMig, og generelt haft en super sjov periode, så det var lidt vemodigt ..men forhåbenligt det blot er på gensyn…

Eftermiddag og aften tilbragte jeg på blåvandgård, hvor DOFUng har indfundet sig, og holder til i uge 42.

The ringing:

A new thing this morning was more new Blackbirds “Solsort” in the nets than the days before. There were many Thrushes in the air, but else, apart from one Songthrush “Sangdrossel”, they did not go down and into the nets. The weather was not perfect, light rain showers on and off, but it was possible to keep the nets open by walking constantly. Later, in the morning, the sun came out, but it started to get windy, and I needed to close the lighthouse garden. Down at the station I could keep most nets open, as they were more sheltered.

A Chaffinch "Bogfinke", that was nearly as agressive as the Bluetit "Blåmejse", that I took out of its bag after.

The moth:

Just three species today which I already had here before. It is less moth flying at that time of year an the wind does not help, but there are still some winter species to come, that will be new for me, so the lights will be kept on in the nights!

Pennithera firmata "Rød fyrremåler"

The Red Deer "Krondyr", after it left the parking of the bird observatory! But it came back later in the evening.

At the station: Louis, Lorin, Hanelie, David and 5 guests.
