A stunner of a sunset!!

As usual, Dante was out of the Obs by 06:15, this time, him and Rolf were joined by Gitte at Grenen. They had a very windy morning, but with much excitement for Gitte, as she saw five danish species for the first time!

Meanwhile, with it being too windy for ringing, Peter and I got up a little later and headed out on our bikes in the wind to the Skarv site.There he showed me how to count and photograph the birds and theyre nests etc. From now on, we will take turns to moniter their progress each week. I was excited to see Coots for the first time! Not something that hangs around back home! On the way back, Peters bike got a puncture, ARGH! so while he made the windy walk back to the obs, i raced if to get some shopping for the house.

Back at the observatory, after me and Peter had entered the Skarv data and Dante had done some "bird maths", Peter and Dante had a rest and caught up with some DOFbasen and I went out to do some laundry.. cleverly forgetting my code for the door.. and phone.. and spending the next hour and a half learning danish bird names from a book in the ringing lab and trying to get the attention of Peter and Dante through the window !!! oh dear... eventually Peter rescued me, so we then spent some hours carrying on with net fixing.

Gitte and Jens had a productive afternoon, Jens fixing the taps in the apartment (thank you!) and then the two of them heading into Skagen and seeing lots of Sule and Ederfugle!

The evening brought us an incredible clear sky and an absolute stunner of a sunset and so, Peter, Dante and I went out to enjoy it for a while before dinner. I wandered out to the tip of Grenen where I saw a seal pup heading back out to sea and lots and lots of Sandløber.

After dinner, Peter went out in the hopes of hearing the Natugle, but sadly no luck!

Anyways, another great day!!
