Blue monday

This morning we said goodbye to Chris, who was helping us for two weeks. We wish he has a safe journey and all the best in the future. Skagen will always welcome you.

Sadly, today the heavy wind and the rain forced us to stay inside. So, no ringing or counting today. After catching up some sleep we tidy up the field station. In the evening we arrange a meeting and discuss about tomorrow’s plan (hopefully we will go ringing if the weather allows us) and we split different tasks for the week. Lastly, we go through some ringing pictures and double check the information we noted down in the field. This is always a great way to share knowledge and to learn something new about bird ageing and sexing.

We hope to get the nets open tomorrow and luckily catch some nice birds despite the wind.
