Actually, where is the horizon?

Hej allesammen,

this day started as usual with morning observations, and all five of us were out again. We decided to count from Worlds End 1 today. The highlight of the morning was definitely a Shag (Topskarv), the one species we have been aiming for the last days. Even though the numbers weren’t that high, we still got quite a nice variety of species for such a slow day.

After having lunch together, we had a talk with Simon about wre the nets for the upcoming ringing season are going to be put up by us. All of us are looking forward for the first ringing day next week!

Niels Eriksen, one of the chairmen of Skagen Bird Observatory visited the station in the afternoon. He also brought some cake for us, which was very kind.  

At the moment we usually use the afternoon to enter data and other tasks that have to be done and then go out in the field for a second time.

Today we went for a walk through the area around the station and we could not believe the absolut absence of wind. When we went back along the beach, we were almost not able to tell the sea apart from the sky, the light tones of blue were just fading into each other, so fascinating!

People at the station:  Isis Khalil, Niels Eriksen, Magnus Houen Lauritsen, Simon Kiesé, Mira Kieckbusch, Johanna Veentjer,
