Observations, shopping under a sunny sky

Today everyone went out observing at world’s end 3, the last dune before the tip of Grenen. A few skuas (skarv) and a lot fewer common scoters (sortand) than usual: while the numbers often amount to a few thousands, today we only observed less than 150 throughout the 4 hours.

We took the opportunity to rest during the afternoon and catch up on shopping. Bringing kilograms of pasta sauce, canned goods, and beverages back on bikes with a strong headwind was our achievement for the day!!

Lisa and Simon went to the summerhouse of Simons family at Saltum, but late evening they went for another try to catch more Great Snipes (Tredækkere) at Lindenborg. It was succesful! With two birds caught! They where joined by Hans, Esben and Niels.
