Netfixing and Chill

Morgenobs:
The wind is still going at it from northwest. With plenty of people to count the sea migration, we were hopeful to get everything cover. However we did not have a lot to cover. Some little gulls and a peregrine falcon (vandrefalk). Otherwise a calm and cozy morning at the obs. Nothing special, but not low enough numbers to bore us.
After the morning obs Thomas, Anders Myrthue and i went to service the helgoland trap. We patched some holes and improved the closing mechanism. After that we went kratlusking, and saw three stonechats (sortstrubet bynkefugl). The day ended with a nice lecture about wolves from Kent Olsen. Not a bad at all:)

Ringing

With the wind starting to pick up a little, and the weather getting colder, we did not have that many birds, but the ones we did, where amazing as always! After getting a tiny flocks of the little stars of the bird world, the goldcrest (fuglekong). Things slowed down again as we were talking to some birdwatcher that then pointed out a greater spottet woodpecker (stor flagspætte) going directions our net. Just as we had forgotten that we saw the woodpecker and started heading down to check the net, we actually caught it!

As this is a very beautiful and amazing bird to see in hand, we called it out for the young birders around to ask if they would like to see it.

Which some of them did and we had a wounderfull little demonstration seasion, with plenty of questions ( from both sides) and alot of bright smiles after seeing this wounderful bird! 

For the rest of the day, we used the extra time to fix some nets and the Helgoland Trap!
