En hyggelit aften med Snobrød

Today we could all sleep a little longer. Because we got an extra hour of sleep with the time change.

Rasmus Olli and I went to world's end 3 to do the migration count. Because of the north wind, migration was quite slow this morning. But we found a nice Merlin (Dværgfalk) hunting on the Beach. There were many Gulls at  world's end 3 today. Among them were two(!) Glaucous Gulls (Gråmåge). Rasmus even managed to see them at once in one scopeview. When I checked the inland I saw a big flock of 16 Bearded Reedlings (Skægmejse) flying around of Kabeltromlen. Also the ringers could watch them really nicely. They had a nice ringing day today and catched some birds every round.

After lunch Janna, Mara, Rasmus and I went to Skagen to do some shopping. But first we went to the harbour. There we saw some beautiful Black Guillemots (Teiste) in summer plumage.

When we came back we said goodbye to Olli who went back to Aalborg.             After that I baked an Apfelstrudel (kind of Apple Cake).  Janna packed up her things because she will leave tomorrow and the others went out to collect some wood for a campfire. Later I went on a little walk, thereby I was able to observe some singing Moor Frogs (Spidssnudetfrøe), which have now started mating.

When I came back the campfire was already well burning and Janna had prepared a Noodle salad and dough for Stickbread. We had a very hyggelig evening at the campfire with delicious Stickbread.
