My last rainy day

This morning Mara left very early. Simon took her to the train station, direction the Germany. Thomas had also his flight this morning, toward the UK.

Ragnar and I woke up late in the morning. The weather was terrible, the wind was strong and it rained all the day, preventing us from going outside. We finished the last tasks before closing the station, like some cleaning and checking a few things.

In the afternoon, I climb to the lighthouse for the first and the last time. It was very windy, so I quickly came back down.

Tomorrow I will take the train to Aalborg and then a plane to Bordeaux in France. I have been here since mid-September, three months to the birds observatory. It was a really nice experience! I mostly participated in the migration counts but also started learning bird ringing. I learned lot of about this two activities thanks to the other volunteers and Simon. I see so many amazing birds, Sooty Shearwater (Sodfarvet Skråpe), Shore Lark (Bjerglærke), Little Auk (Søkonge), Yellow-browed Warbler (hvidbrynet Løsanger) just to name a few. I had a wonderful time in Skagen! Au revoir, et peut-être à bientôt!
