Observation I dag stod vi alle op for fælles obs, da vejret lovede potentielt spændende forhold - vind fra vest, dvs. direkte mod kysten, op til 15 m/s. En sådan kraft, hvor man virkelig mærker...
Udsigten over Gedser rev fra hele nordens sydligste punkt tirsdag morgen mellem klokken 8 og 9, da vindstyrken var på sit højeste. Der var kun barske måger og hårdføre Skarver i området samt en enlig...

On a frigid May morning just west of Minneapolis, three brothers in their 60s—Bob, Jim, and Joe Hautman—peer through a chain-link fence at the ranch-style house on the other side. Tarps hide much...

Gabriel and Sarah did another night shift to keep an eye on the storm petrel and nightjar nets for us. The nets had to be checked again for a last round late in the night. They moved along the beach, focused...
Today was a special day, it had been storming all night and for the last few days which put the migration at a halt. The weatherforecast promised rain and strong winds (enough to cancel the morning observation)....
Moths caught in the traps This night 21 species were able to find the traps, despite the strong wind (see table). Again a Lunar Underwing (Halvmåne Jordfarvugle). The only new one for the station...
When we wanted to leave for today?s count, Sarah and Selina came already back from Kabeltromlen. They were pretty wet and did not open the nets because of a rain shower. Flo, Gabriel and I waited before...
Observation Today the observation went a little diffrent, as we had a guest observer doing the morning observation! Jes used to be an observer in the 70s and had alot of stories to share! Ringmærkning The...
Ringmærkningen/Ringing: Although we were not so happy this morning because we needed to shut down the nets not even an hour after opening, it turned out to be not such a bad day. And in the net-shutting...
Moths caught in the traps This night 29 species were able to find the traps. There were some really interesting ones, another Pale Pinion (Alliance-stenugle). A Lunar Underwing (Halvmåne Jordfarvugle,...
I think we may be up for a very good autumn around Nordre Øyeren. As I wrote yesterday there are lots of ducks and geese using Svellet – the ducks (mostly Teal) are feeding there whilst the geese come into rest but are feeding on nearby harvest fields. Yesterday I discovered one of the fields that the geese (primarily Barnacles) are using and here there were also many raptors and Cranes. I assume there is lots of spilt corn which the geese and Cranes like but also rodents because the raptors (3 juvenile Marsh Harriers and at least 9 Common Buzzards) seemed to have no problem finding food. The harriers were quartering the field but the Buzzards were mostly just walking around and pouncing on prey. At least one juvenile Peregrine and 2 Hobbies were also in the area and it was particularly birdy. Amongst the geese was an interesting Canada Goose that I first noticed flying in when it was noticeably darker and slightly smaller than its compatriots but once on the field it was more difficult to find and the raptors, and my search for something rare, took my attention and I never formed an opinion on the goose. I was hoping to find a harrier other than a Marsh but failed although I am sure that with regular coverage something else will turn up. I also expect that Rough-legged Buzzards will soon discover the field as they migrate through the area. There are rather surprisingly still some unharvested fields as well and one of these clearly also had a lot of rodents as another two Marsh Harriers were constantly hunting over it. Both these birds were second calendar birds – a male and a female. If the stubble fields remain as stubble (i.e they don’t get ploughed this autumn) then they could continue to attract both geese and raptors until November or December depending on the weather. The passage of proper wild geese has yet to start and if Pink-feet discover these fields then there could be many thousands of geese still to come. Numbers of waders using Svellet have fallen dramatically but a Black-tailed Godwit was briefly present as was the Little Gull and terns so there is still non-waterfowl potential. A Great White Egret was also present nearby but only visible very distantly. 2cy male Marsh Harrier (sivhauk) with a Hooded Crown (kråke). The dark secondary feathers are remaining juvenile feathers whilst the grey feathers are adult feathers 2 1cy/juvenile Marsh Harriers in the birdy field having a rest from their quartering 2cy female Marsh Harrier. Two generations of secondaries are clearly visible the 2cy male quartering the unharvest field many hundreds of Barnacle (hvitkinngjess) and some Greylags (grågjess) on their way from the field where they had been feeding to Svellet for a rest this Common Buzzard (musvåk) was hovering over the unharvested field whereas those using the stubble field were mostly just walking around the interesting Canada Goose. It has a dark breast and darker flanks compared to the normal feral Canadas and is also slightly smaller. It is possible that it is a wild bird but there are also feral birds of other subspecies and strange hybrids knocking around in Holland so it is impossible to know especially with only these grainy photos a late(ish) Red-backed Shrike (tornskate)
For most of my life, I didn’t notice trees. Sure, I saw them, but nothing registered. My conscious brain didn’t take note of anything about them. I was so preoccupied with the rest of life that...
I dag startede dagen stille og roligt med ringmærkning ved kabeltromlen hvor det skiftede mht. de net der var mest aktivitet i. Vi fangede mest munke og gransangere, men så ellers et fint bredt udvalg...
Ringing It was still a bit windy in the garden so we were rather surprised that the first round was pretty good. After it slowed down quite fast and we also got some rounds without birds. A nice surprise...
Observation Gustav stod troligt op i morges tidligt kl. 6 for at konstatere, at regnvejret var kommet til hukket som lovet. Dette betød aflyst observation, men til gengæld mulighed for at sove en smule...
Moths caught in the traps This night brought 22 species. Of one moth sitting on the wall I thought it was the Silver Y (Gammaugle) a common moth for this time of the year, but Gerd said have...

Today we have some exciting belated news to share with you! On 10th of August this year, Simon Kiesé spotted an interesting tern at Grenen. After extensive analysis, it is now clear that it was a Roseate...
Rødhals/ Robin Ringing: The day started very windy but the wind slowed a little bit down during the morning. As expected, this did not bring many birds. Today Grace went to the migration count again...
Moths caught today Despite the strong wind during the night still 25 species in and around the traps. We had a few moths that are probably migrating moths. One was the Cotton Bollworm(Kriger...
Migration: This morning was very windy, so instead of staying out on the exposed point, we moved to the side of the old building to shelter and stay warm. This meant our view of the ocean wasn?t...
