Admin and a new addition to the team.

June 11th

Wind! It was too windy to open any nets and really too windy to visit the cormorant colony today. So after an extra hour or two in bed (snatch those mornings when you can at a bird observatory!) it was time for lots of computer admin. Ringing data, Dofbasen and diary posts were the order of the morning, along with photo archive work.

Kirstine Lund arrived in the afternoon, she’ll be working with us for a week. After working our way through double checking the ringing data, we sorted our ‘in the field’ paperwork before having a moult lecture in the birders club from Simon. Sadly it was cut short for me as I had to cook dinner. After dinner, Simon, Michele and Kirstine went out for an evening seawatch and found Michele’s first Canada goose and Arctic Skua. Not bad for mid June!

Once again, early to bed, ready to ring on the morrow . . .
