Trækket på Odden: Louis, Mads and I braved the cold at the tip this morning. But it was another lovely morning, with just more than two thousand birds !

Compared to previous days, the migration of Havlits (Long-tailed ducks) and Fløjlsand (Velvet scoters) was impressive, with 86 and 126 birds respectively. This morning was especially good for the Sortand (Black scoters) and the Stormmåge (Common gulls), with 431 and 347 birds respectively, which is a third of all the birds this morning.

As in previous days, I was very happy to see Lom (Divers) and Lille Skallesluger (Smews)! This morning, we saw three males, the first of the season, and this is also the highest number of this species seen this year: six...!

Unfortunately, the light was terrible for pictures; the birds were flying far away.

But :

Outside at the tip for one purpose:
Looking for nice birds – flamingos?
It's cold, and the wind is terrible for the nose.
Two thousand and two birds, and the November rose.
