Calm day

Last night’s night catching wasn’t able to take place because of the great weather: cloudless and windless night. This changed in the morning where the wind was strong and rain clouds were coming in. The bad weather meant we all got to sleep in. The rest of the morning was filled with admin work: sorting out the picture archive, analysing the sound recording and sorting out data inputting errors. Saturday also meant cleaning day: the lab and flat. Augustin and Ulysse went out each to cut the reed and shrubs around the nets and paths at Jennes Sø and Kabeltrommlen. I went out to the tip to try and photograph some of the waders present.

In the evening, Augustin and I went out to see if we could find some lesser black-backed gulls. We tried to see  if any of them had rings but most were sitting or the flowers blocked the view. We did manage to catch one of the previous ringed plover chicks. It was nice to see them doing well. While we were out, Ulysses prepared dinner: pizzas. Two of Augustin's friends arrived to stay the night.

Folk på stationen: Mathilde Ducroz, Simon S Christiansen, Ulysse Reverre og Augustin Sticksel.
