Northerly winds and snow

Northerly winds, freezing temperatures and more snow made for challenging conditions during this morning’s observations for Lauren, Yehonatan and I. The highlights were 17 Parrot Crossbills (Stor Korsnæb) and the adult, drake King Eider (Kongeederfugl) which remained off the Kattegat bunker before relocating to off Det Grå Fyr and, was enjoyed by numerous birders throughout the day.

Back at the station we said goodbye to Britta and welcomed both our new guest Amelia and Johanna’s friend Bjarne, who are staying with us for the week.
