Sunday (15/4-2012) I participated in an expedition searching for Yellow-billed Loon (
Gavia adamsii) in Kattegat 25 km north of Anholt. In 2009 Marine Observers found several Yellow-billed- and Great Northern Loons feeding in the area, and we were hoping to confirm that it is a wintering area for the two species. The weather was perfect and the result after 16 hours at open sea was ten Yellow-billed Loons. Mission accomplished! Get more information on
Club300 and
Haanings blog.

Two birds together! Still Yellow-billed Loon. We found nine birds close together in a very little area. Amazing! |
