Scoters on their way

Observation : 

Today was my first day of birdwatching on my own [Clara]. It was a bit of a challenge, but the weather was kind to us with bright sunshine, good visibility and species I could identify in flight! So everything went well, with a great score of common scoters [sortand] – over 2,000 migrating north!

I made the most of the afternoon sunshine to walk around Blavand and count the birds resting on the beach, hundreds of herring gulls and lots of sanderling, a beautiful day.

Todays observations can be seen here.

Ringing : 

For some hours we could have some sheltered nets in the stationgarden open. But ringing was not very sucessful, we recaptured one Robin "Rødhals".

Else, Morgan and me spent most of the morning putting the IKEA furniture together, that Henrik bought. With varying degrees of sucess...

Yesterday, we watched the second episode of the documentary on the French Antarctic Lands with Hanelie and Morgan. This episode focused on marine mammals and how their populations are changing in response to climate change and other pressures. It was really fascinating, with some stunning footage.
