I have been a bit busy during the last couple of days, so this blog post is going to cover the last 3 trips to Vejlerne. In particular, yesterday evening was very productive, from a photography point of view.

Before sunset, yesterday, the Marsh Harriers (Circus aeruginosus) were extremely busy. They were flying about all evening. I even saw two fighting in mid-air. Unfortunately it was with the light directly into the lens, so the photos didn’t turn out well.

Since the Marsh Harriers were so active last night, I decided to drive there this morning early. One was sitting right in front of the car when I drove up. I didn’t see it and it flew off before I had the chance to get the camera ready. It would have been a spectacular photo, though.

New species I have seen the last couple of days were the Gadwall (Anas strepera) and the Gold Finch (Carduelis carduelis), which is arguably the most colourful bird in Denmark. The Gadwell is fairly unusual in Denmark and I was lucky to see a couple fly past the Han Vejle hide this morning at around 7 am.
