Guest Post

Today I had meetings with various people from around the lighthouse, Lene from the nature conservancy, Christel from the café and an interview with Dante about being a volunteer. From these meetings I gathered useful information to be used in future questionnaires/interviews with people in and around the lighthouse.

During the morning Peter and Dante were busy observing birds, Peter also checking out the cormorant lake to see if any cormorants are thinking about breeding yet. He then went on to look for the marsh tit that had been reported in the town by Anders Bojesen and a few others over the last month. Dante went out to Grenen to do four hours of migration monitoring off Worlds End.

They both entered their DOFBasen records on return, and had a quick nap before undertaking other tasks, including net repair and ringing data entry.

Simon was mostly involved in admin tasks and preparation for an upcoming trip, all of which he assures us, would be ‘boring’ to go into detail on! He also had a meeting with Lene and Christel during the morning.

For dinner I made a nice vegetarian Dahl and butternut squash, bean and mushroom curry, which was well received by all. We planned our activities for the next day, bearing the poor weather forecast in mind.
