Observations : 

Weather at 5.45: NW4, 7°C, 1/8, 30km visibility

This morning, we observed some nice migration movements from red-throated loon [rødstrubet lom] and common tern/arctic tern [fjordterne/havterne].
This is the largest number of red-throated loon we’ve seen so far this season! We counted 400 migrating north with flocks up to 20 divers high in the horizon.
We also counted 360 common/ arctic terns [fjordterne/havterne] going north, with flock up to 200 individuals. That was nice !  
The little terns [dværgterne] are definitely at Blavand, and we can watch them feeding near the shore every day, which is always a wonderful sight.


Highlights of the day : 
Red-throated loon [rødstrubet lom]- 400
Black-throated loon [sortstrubet lom] - 1
Sandwich tern [splitterne] - 49 
Common tern/Arctic tern [fjordterne/havterne]- 360
Little tern [dværgterne] - 61
Velvet scoter [fløjlsand] - 40

Todays observations can be seen here.
