Finally Some Rain

As usual, Michael and Lauren had opened the nets at Kabeltromlen for sunrise. The weather was nice because it was cloudy with a lot of expectations that the day is going to be good for ringing but our expectations were cut short because there came rain which cut the ringing session shot that we have to close the nets, we wanted to continue the ringing till late morning but the radar read that there will be coming another heavy  rain In the next thirty minutes in which we don’t want to take the risk were had to close the ringing early due to that rain and the nets where close by 8:45.

 After a long day of Dante cooks us a delicious dinner, and we welcome new guest to the apartment Esper and Anne.

Back at the station, we enter the date from the ringing, sheets checking and some of the admin stuff at the station, which keeps us busy for a while.
