Another foggy day at Blåvandshuk

The ringing:

When Emma and I opened the nets today, the weather looked okay, but while we waited inside, deep fog crawled on land from the sea. For the ringing it was okay, but the observers could not do their job. Thomas did a resting bird count though, but he could not see much.

Todays observations can be seen here.

Both Levi and Thomas joined me and Emma for some rounds. There were not many birds, but Levi and Thomas got a few to extract and ring.

News of the station:

Julia left home to the Netherlands today, maybe there will be another opportunity, that she visits again. Also, Joseph left to Rømø in the morning, to put the painted wooden pegs, which are used as coordinate system for the observations of Little Terns “Dværgterne” in the fenced area on Rømø. Tomorrow, he will be back. And I will go to Gedser tomorrow later in the morning for about one and a half week but will come back to Blåvand after and stay here for the rest of the spring season. Later today, Morten will arrive and be ringing here for about two weeks.

At the station: Levi van den Os, Joseph Stephan, Emma Gray, Thomas Kristensen, Hanelie Sidhu, Morten Jenrich Hansen, Marit Nillissen and Julia
