My first day
On my first day at the station, I was happy to see a Snow bunting (Snespurv) and a many Common Eiders at the World’s End 3. They are rare in France. Otherwise, seebird migration was slow. But there are some interesting birds set on the beach like Kaspian Gull (Kaspisk Måge). Also some Meadow Pipit (Engpiber) flew over us, calling. For the ringers, there were more birds than yesterday, with many European Robin (Rødhals) and Eurasian Blackcap (Munk).
My first observation
In afternoon Ragnar went to a walk on the beach. Augustin, Rosa and me wanted some adventure, so we tried to find a way through into the stamp to reach the dunes. From the dunes, we spotted some nice birds like Horned Grebe (Nordisk Lappedykker) or Artic Skua (Almindelig Kjove). So Ragnar join us to see these birds.
