Relaxing with Harriers and Cinnamon Rolls

It was raining and snowing the whole day today. On top it was also really windy. So we stayed inside most of the time today. We used these circumstances to sleep longer. Later everyone started to work a bit on some things. Janna wrote something for her university and Mara worked a bit with the ringingdata of the station. Roman prepared a presentation on determination of Harriers (Herhøge) and I started reading a book from the station's library and later made the dough for  some cinnamon rolls.

After lunch Janna and Mara took a walk to do some shopping in Skagen. And they came back with Simon who picked up Rasmus Matthiesen-Juhl, the new volunteer who arrived today from Grenaa. Rasmus was already volunteering in spring 2021 and will stay here for three months. They arrived just as I was taking the cinnamon rolls out of the oven. So we ate them. They were really delicious.

Nice Cinnamon Rolls

After that Roman presented us his presentation on the determination of Hen-, Montagu’s-, and Pallidharrier (Blå Kerhøg, Hedehøg og Steppenhøg).It was really interesting and now we are well prepared for the Harrier migration! He also made a Kahoot quiz. It was fun to be able to apply the new knowledge directly. Janna won the quiz although she didn't really like the Harriers before. But now she finds them nicer than before.

Later we played a lot of Ping Pong and card games. 

We are looking forward to go out to the migration count tomorrow again, hopefully without rain.
