Slow and rainy day at the station

Hi everyone!

We saw a lot of really interesting birds today; raptors, owls, a great variety of passerines and waders… but all of them would just stare at us, not moving or flying at all… they were stuffed ones! Simon brought them over, they are supposed to be part this year’s exhibition.

As it was raining all day long, we weren’t out observing, it was a really slow day. We just spend most of the day working on our laptops. Each of us has to prepare a presentation for the others about a specific topic, and I started doing my research on that today. It also turned out that Lauren is really talented in drawing.

Now Lauren and Yehonatan are out in the field nightcatching. I hope they will have success! I will update the blog later when they are back.

Update: They saw one Woodcock (Skovsneppe) but unfortunately didn't catch anything.
