An enlightened free day

Because we could take a morning off today, we took advantage of this yesterday. Hanelie had another try for nightcatching but didn't catch anything unfortunately. Alice and I had a nice beach walk and saw the sea lighting up because of the “Morild”.

In the morning, Manuel and Hanelie wake up early because they are so used to the early rhythm. They went to the Poul Eeg camping, the industrial area, the beach and Flagbakken. They made a detour along the way to see a possible Iberian chiffchaff but in the end, it was just the common chiffchaff. They had a good time with nice observations of pallid harrier “Steppehøg”, hobby “Lærkefalkand” ring ouzels “ringdrossel”.

Meanwhile, I made a walk too and saw a nice rough-legged buzzard “Fjeldvåge”. Alice joined me and we finally went to the second hand shop. When cycling around in the harbour we climbed in a pier from which we could see three black guillemots “tejst” from very close.

Eventually I had a nice breakfast at 3 o clock when went back to the city. It was nice to try some traditional Danish dishes.

We all arrived at the station around the same time. It was a chill afternoon and we didn't have to cook because we had dinner with the people from blink and the exhibition again. Søren made a really nice curry for us and we all had a lovely evening with good talks.

Simon and Lisa have been busy too. Lisa started her day with working in the garden, while Simon was working on the radar together with Thomas and Jan Janssen. Later in the day, they went to Saftevandsbakken with Søren Knorr Søndergaard and saw the Camberwell beauty “Sørgekåbe”. Both Lisa and Manuel made a delicious cake for us in the afternoon.

Unfortunately the wind is still too strong to go ringing tomorrow, but we are looking forward a sunny day with some nice migration.
