. .and thrice Grenen

torsdag 19. juli 2018
af Michele Pes

Today we wake up early to check the weather, it is cloudy but not very windy, so we decide to go to Grenen for ringing. At 05:30 we open the nets. During the morning we don’t ringing many birds, but we take some interesting recaptures.At 8:00 am Morten returns to the observatory to drive Preben to Skagen station, which is leaving today. Peter and I decide to close the nets after a while, because we’re not catching a lot, and at 9:00 we go back to the observatory.

At 11:30 am I open the nets around the lighthouse for a ringing tour with visitors. Meanwhile I work to finish my ringing presentation to show to visitors.
After lunch, Morten and I go to monitor the cormorant colony, and after we go shopping for tonight's dinner. Morten will cook burgers (apparently all he can cook!) for everyone.
Back at the lighthouse, I load the morning ringing data into the databases, while Morten cooks dinner. Peter is engaged in other tasks within the PC.
After dinner we do a shuffle ball tournament, and after I go to bed because I'm a bit tired today.
