Drowning in Data ; )

Today we slept a longer bit after enjoying the huge Sankt Hans fire at the beach yesterday night. It was also very windy the whole day. So we started indoor doing some datawork. 

The Sankt Hans fire from yesterday

Later in the morning Lucas' family visited the station to pick him up. It was a bit sad to say goodbye to him after living together for almost four months now. Also Simon and Lisa passed by the station in the morning. 

Later we continued our datawork and Andrew went out to the beach. Out these he found the beach completely fluted because of all the wind.He saw many Terns and Gulls. Among them were two young CommonTerns (Fjordterne). The first young ones we have seen this year.

After dinner we could see many Terns flying over the sea, so we went out to the beach to do a little evening seawatch. Out there we saw a young Wheatear (Stenpikker) sitting on the stones. We put out our trap to try to catch it but it didn't work out.

And there were also some Gulls feeding on a dead Seal on the beach. Andrew tried to catch them without success.
