Howling wind and Hedehøg

The wind was to strong to open the nets at Kabeltromle today and as the observation season ended yesterday and the windy weather was not really encouraging to go out, we stayed in a bit longer today. Later, everyone went on a walk and Tue, Lucas, Andrew and Cora saw a Montagues Harrier/ Hedehøg in Storsig not far from Ellekrattet, while I was on a walk at Grenen.

Andrew also had a Little Tern "Dværgterne" on the sea close to the lighthouse.

Todays observations of observers in the area can be seen here.

I was catching moths with light every night since I arrived here and want to show some highlights of the last days. I am entering the moths everyday on Arter, ObsIdentify and inaturalist so even if there is no list or pictures on the blog, you can keep updated.
