Ringmærkningen : Dagen startede med regn, så nettene blev først åbnet 35 minutter senere end normalt. På trods af det blæsende og fugtige vejr var der en del fugle i nettene. Gærdesanger(Lesser whitetroat) var den langt talrigste, med en trediedel af dagens fugle. Mange af fuglene i dag var også genfangster fra de senneste dage, der raster i krattet.

Trækket på Odden : The migration dynamic was really good this morning, which was ideal to to keep me awake ! Indeed, the Barnacle geese (Bramgås) came in hundreds all morning long, sometimes in mixed flocks with other geese (Grå gås sp.). The Eiders (Ederfugl) also did their comeback, with a total of 118 individuals, which really surprised me considering the fact I've barely seen any migrating lately.

I first thought those two Whimbrels (Lillespove) on the beach would migrate, but they ended up keeping me company almost all morning long. Picture by Cyann Ménard/GFU

In the stormy ambiance, I was once again completely surrounded by Swallows and Martins (Svale) hunting the mosquitos over the building. One Hobby (Lærkefalk) also kept coming quite close, surely aware that it could hunt some of the passerines hanging out at the tip. For its first appearance, suddenly rising from the cliff, it honestly looked kind of surprised to see me there !
