Swallows and tristis

Robbie went observing and walked towards Nordstranden to look for gulls. Not many birds, but he did see two swallows that haven’t migrated yet. We hope that the bad weather will inspire them to fly towards a warmer climate.

Angela and I opened the nets this morning at Grenen Sø to try and catch the waterpipits. We didn’t catch any, and we then took down the nets for good.

Simon saw a Caspian gull (caspisk måge) and witnessed our last failed attempt for catching waterpipits (bjergpiber). He did see a Siberian chiffchaff  (sibirisk gransanger) in the afternoon though.

This afternoon Angela and Robbie took the rest of the bicycles up to the attic to stay throughout the winter.

Angela and I went to Kabeltromlen and brought back the rest of the poles and anchors, so now Kabeltromlen is clear of our stuff.

Folk på stationen: Simon S. Christiansen, Rosalina Sø Leth-Nissen, Robbie Lawler, Angela Di Pumpo, Amandine Dore og Mogens Erlandsen.
