Raptor watching

Today’s weather was a bit windy, we were at the station a bit longer, we couldn’t go out early for the morning observation but later in the morning we went out for raptor witching because all the past few days has been raining and windy, we not been going out much on birding or ringing that is reason they were less sightings around Skagen, and we were out for four hours on raptor witching , which was nice been out after few days of not much bird birding.Our raptor witching today has really helped me a lot because I have not been doing much on raptors, it was nice to see the difference between pertains on various raptors and that has helped me in knowing the difference in each species. The guests at the apartment were out to visit the Skagen Museum.
