Simon is back

While Julian and Hannah stayed out all night to try and catch Quails (Vagtel) again, we others had a lazy morning sleeping until 7 am, followed by a long breakfast. After breakfast, Alix and Alvin had to visit a doctor in town as Alvin had a red mark on his leg that might be Lyme disease. They also went shopping, and then we celebrated midsummer, putting extra effort into lunch, and Alvin and Alix even bought themselves some fish.

At some point in the morning, a young Whitethroat (Tornsanger) flew against the window, but seemed fine and flew off after a bit.

It was also the first day Simon was back from his trip to Iceland, so it was good to see him again.
