This morning was rainy and windy. The nets couldn´t be opened in this weather, so Anne and Lars had a cosy morning at the Bird Observatory.

Morning Observations at Gedser Odde: Nevertheless, Ole and and Hanelie went out for morning Observations. They could find shelter under the roof at the building at the tip, so they just got wet on their way.

There were not many birds migrating though. Just 27 Eiders “Ederfugl” migrating east, therefore Redthroated Divers “Rødstrubet Lom” going west, some Red Breasted Mergensers “Toppet Skallesluger” and four Goosanders “Stor Skallesluger”, also going west. We also had a very nice Observation of four Razorbills “Alk”. But all in all very low numbers of birds, so we decided to leave after three hours.

The day stayed quite windy and rainy, but the wind slowed down in the late afternoon. So Hanelie went on an evening walk and saw some more White Wagtails “Hvid Vipstjert” – they are arriving. And again two adult Little Gulls “Dværgmåge” very nice in the sinking sun.

This night, one net in the garden is open. We are trying to catch Tengmalm´s Owls. Anne was very successful with that last autumn and we are hoping for more success this and the following nights. We will keep you updated, if we catch something!
