A nice message from Tenerife!

Today it was very hot, with almost no cloud cover so I was very keen on getting sunscreen on to prevent as much sunburn. Because of the wind and the sun, there were not many birds around. Because yesterday was quite good, it felt slower than usual.

The best news of the day was that we got reply of the Ring ouzel that was seen by the birders from Norway. It has been ringed and tagged on Tenerive. A wonderful resighting! Since the tag is not working, I will try the coming days to relocate it and maybe catch it to retrieve the tag.

Today the person to do activities out of the neighboring museum got installed. She will organize some activities like fishing in the sea and guided tours.

We are now just two birds short of the 2000 birds this year.

Sydøstenvinden bragte efter årstiden en del vadere til Hukket. Det blev til 11 arter hvoraf 79 Storspover, 25 Hvidklirer, 2 Brushaner og 1 Sortklire. Og til aften landede en Hvidbrystet Præstekrave kortvarigt på Hukket inden den trak videre.
Omkring fyret vrimlede det med mursejlere.
Og så er vores udhegning en succes. De 2 første flyvefærdige Dværgterneunger og 3 store unger sås udover. Der er uden tvivl flere unger som er vanskelige at se.
Og så løber der 8 store præstekraveunger rundt derinde, og de bliver flyvefærdige i næste uge.
Det er svært at få hænderne ned.
