Cosy Day at the Observatory

Yesterday evening Esben and Lisa went nightcatching again at Grenen and I joined them for the first time. In the beginning we tried to catch an owl Simon had just seen when he was driving home to the station. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find it, so we walked on the beach to the tip, equipped with a flashlight, a sweep net and two skilled catchers. So, we had luck and caught a juvenile Dunlin (Almindelig Ryle) around 11 pm! Lisa was happy to ring her first Dunlin.

Because it was raining in the morning, we opened the mist nets at 7:45 today. It was nice to sleep a little bit longer than usual. The weather was nice, and we were quite a lot of people at Kabeltromlen today. While Angus was counting at World’s End 3, Simon, Arne, Esben, Lisa, Martin and I were at the ringing station. Jørgen and Igor came by to visit.

In the afternoon Martin, Esben and I entered the ringing data from today. Also, Lisa baked some delicious Kannelbullar for us today and Jørgen visited the station. Unfortunately, Lisa had to leave today again, because she needs to be in the office on Monday morning. But maybe she will come again in October or November.

Before dinner Kristina and her boyfriend Mads came by for saying hello. I was really happy they brought their dog Aslan with them!
