Slow day: walks and waffles!
Hello everyone,
This morning, Diana, Louis and I went to open the nets in Kabeltromlem. As soon as the opening was finished, we had to close because Oluf Lou was ill and could not ring with us this morning and Simon had to leave for a few days to give lectures especially on the interest of birdwatching for the citizens. However, despite a short opening, we caught 7 birds.
Meanwhile, Aksel joined Knud at Verdens end 3 to the counting of seabirds. They saw a caspian gull (Levantmåge) and his two first long tailed ducks (havlit). On this slow day, he was able to apply his knowledge to identify kittiwake far away. After the nets were closed, Louis went for a walk at Cormorant Lake where he saw common snipes (Dobbeltbekkasin) and bearded reedlings (skægmejse). Diana and I joined Solenn, who had been resting with an eye problem, to play a game of Wingspan.
In the afternoon, Solenn worked on the night recordings made last night, Louis was resting and Aksel was preparing his applications for his master's degree. After the rain, Diana and I went into town to buy some food and enjoy a walk around town and a waffle!
At the end of the day, Aksel went for a little walk in search of mushrooms, Diana entered the data and preparing dinner. Solenn, Louis and I worked on our computers.
We also share with you Diana's talent for painting, of which she made this beautiful fieldfare for Solenn's birthday a few days ago!
