Are White-tailed Eagles daily now?

torsdag 27. august 2026
af Johan Them Steffensen & Strummer Edwards

Observations:

Today marked another hard seawatch. I am really finding out that the hardest part about observations at Blåvand is waiting for the birds. Today was eastern wind which might have been good, but migration was slow, with a lot of time between flocks of ducks. Notably we had a decent amount of Eurasian Wigeon (Mareca penelope) and a single White-tailed Eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) coming to look for snacks. It was a different one from yesterday as this one was a clear 1cy bird. I won't be mad if they're going to be new dailies for me. Very majestic.

Rain tomorrow looks like standard won't be able to be completed, but with rains stopping quite abruptly around 9am, we are brewing up some lethal Sabine hours tomorrow. stay tuned.

 Todays observations

Ringing:

Todays ringing was certainly slowing than the previous few days but still we had a decent movement of migrants.  By far the most numerous species were Willow Warblers (Løvsanger) with 8 birds ringed.  Besides that it was a relatively quiet day without too many highlights.  

This will likely be our last standard ringing day for the forseeable future as the next week predicts consistent showers during the morning.
