Harbour Porpoise and Orca at Grenen

All the volunteers went out observing with Simon today. On our way to worlds end 2 we saw a spotted flycatcher (Grå Fleusnapper) we heard it yesterday but couldn’t see it. So Simon quickly set up his scope and we were able to take a look at this beautiful bird before it leaves Grenen and flies off to Afrika. We set our observing post at worlds end 2 for the first hour so we could get a better look at the marsh fields and take a better look at some passerines, but we weren’t too lucky with that. At the end of the first hour Simon saw a Orca and we decided to move nearer to the shore so we could get a better look at it. This tuned out to be a perfect place to see a harbour porpoise (Marsvin) near the shoreline. We continued our observations until 9:30 o’clock after that we returned and entered the data from this morning.

In the afternoon me and Mathilde went to skagen to do some grocery shopping and some birdwatching at the harbor while Ulysses was catching up on some sleep. After that i helped Simon with a ringing tour in the old lighthouse garden, unfortunately, we didn't catch any birds.
