My last day

lørdag 19. juli 2025
af Pauline Nähring

Today was my last full day at the station, but at the same time the first one where I could finally sleep in a bit! Last night, Rosemary took over the night shift as we set out to catch some European Nightjars (Natravn) in the Lighthouse Garden. Unfortunately, we had no luck catching any, but it was a warm summer night, which made it a nice experience for her nonetheless.


This morning, Hanelie and Emma headed out for morning observation. It was quite calm overall, but they were lucky to see an Arctic Skua (Almindelig Kjove) chasing a tern offshore. Later Erik joined them out at the tip, and together they also saw some Honey Buzzard (Hvepsevåge) coming in from inland.

Later in the day, we received message about a rare Long-legged Buzzard (Ørnevåge) found by Erik C. from his garden in town! Unfortunately we missed it before it returned, but it gave us some hope for more raptor activity in the coming days.

Since it was cleaning day, we spent the afternoon tidying up the station but as the heat became almost unbearable, we decided to head out for a swim together. It was the perfect way to cool down. Emma even found a big crab on the beach!

To end the day on a sweet note, I treated everyone to ice cream! I’m incredibly grateful for the time I’ve spent here at Skagen Fuglestation: the birds, the beautiful landscape, the late nights and early mornings, but especially the people I met! Thank you for the amazing memories and the chance to learn and contribute.
