NORTH SEA, GERMAN BIGHT

October 2009
Since July 2009 most of the time I am at ships at the North Sea (German Bight)
working for a monitoring program especially for seabirds, migrating birds and
marine mammals.
Unfortunately the ships engines are almost running, so there´s no chance to
catch one of the rare given sounds of Tern´s, Gull´s, Skuas or one of the Trushes
migrating deep in the dark of the night – in a high quality.

At the tours there are three possible kinds to record birds: swimming at sea
(giving a call while brawl about food), in flight (songbirds giving contact calls
– on day or night. The third thing is giving contact calls while sitting on the ship
– in this case it is even possible that a bird sing it´s song!
