Rain, relax and... NIGHT CATCHING!

Hello everyone!

Today has been a slow day for everyone: it rained a lot, so in the morning we stayed at home. We used the time to check the sheets, entering data on DOFbasen and introducing Prescillia on every activities of the station. We had lunch all together and in the afternoon we kept working at home; Hanelie and I started looking for information about our future presentations and we chose our main themes. Solenn continued analyzing the recordings made during two nights of the last week and Johanna and Prescillia worked with their computer at other projects.

Some drawing I started this morning: do you recognize the species? 

Aksel went outside and tried to spot the Black woodpecker (Sortspætte) which was seen in the past days in the area, but he didn’t see it. He didn’t found not even some cool mushrooms he was looking for in the area, but he enjoyed spending some time outside and when he came home he took a nap. Meanwhile, all of us were energized because with Simon we decided to try tonight waders night-catching at the Cormorant Lake, despite the cold and the rain (actually it helps a lot during this kind of catching). After Simon left we started playing Wingspan; Solenn won, and we believe that she made the record (114 points!!!) for the station! Later Johanna went outside to take some fresh air and she loved the sighting of the sea, with the clouds full of rain just above it.

Now we are ready to go outside: we will be two groups (me & Hanelie and Solenn & Aksel), we had no dinner but we are super ready! 

Solutions about the drawings: there are a European storm petrel (Lille stormsvale) and a Little stint (Dværgryle). 

People at the station: Diana Sciandra, Hanelie Sidhu, Solenn Boucher, Johanna Veentjer, Prescillia Lemesle, Aksel Munkholm, Simon S. Christiansen, Lisa Vergin
