Ringmærkningen: 

Den lovede tåge var trukket tilbage og der var helt klart så vi satte alt op...næsten. Flere net var der kraftig frost i så de var synlige, og et enkelt net var der is i så det kunne ikke åbnes.

Det blev en stille dag der startede med næsten kun genfangster fra de sidste dage, men på de sidste par runder blev vi reddet af nogle grønsiskner.

En sjov kontrol i dag var en blåmejse jeg selv havde ringmærket i slut november 2021 som 1k.

Der blev et par runder uden fugle, men om få dage kommer der vejrskift og så burde der komme fart på.

Trækket på Odden: Today was a lovely day of migration counting out at the point. The mist from the last few days had finally lifted and we enjoyed a nice morning in the sun. The birds also seemed to enjoy the weather as many were seen migrating.

As per usual, Eiders (Ederfugl) was the most abundant species with 1694 counted individuals, but there were several other species that were spotted in relatively large numbers. One of these species was the Cormorant (Skarv). Although cormorants are not an unusual sight to see at the point, 100 individuals were spotted actually migrating, rather than staying around in the area.

Several small flocks of mute swans (Knopsvane) were also seen migrating throughout the morning, with a total of 14 counted birds. Later on in the morning, 2 big flocks of White-fronted geese (Blisgås) were spotted just in time for us to accurately count them., both flocks contained over 90 individuals. These flocks, combined with a smaller flock spotted earlier, added up to a total of 214 birds. In total, 27 different species of birds were spotted today.

We hope the nice weather at the point continues in the coming days and that it brings along large numbers of migrating birds.
