And then there was one . .again!

A late start this morning, followed by a bit of computer work. The wind changed direction and dropped entirely so the garden was devoid of birds, frustrating my ideas of ringing this morning. That being said,  its very interesting to see such weather dependent movement. I caught up with a few bits and pieces, and then went back to net repair. Gustav went for a bit of a walk up to Ellekrattet and found a nuthatch there and a kittiwake from the beach.

Anine left about midday, and Gustav and I had a nice pancake lunch, after which I tried to find his nuthatch again to no avail. There’s a lot of change happening on the point, with a lot of woodland disappearing, so it’s quite noisy and not conducive to great birding, though I know it’s for a good reason. I did see a kestrel on my way back, which was my first for Denmark this year so it wasn’t a bad walk. Gustav left mid afternoon, and I went back to fixing nets, managing to get two out of the way today, so I’m starting to get into a rhythm. Once again it went on for longer than I thought, and I didn’t finish until it was dark outside.

Dinner was leftovers, and just going over my plans for the next day, cleaning the accommodation and cracking on with my various presentations, leaving enough time to go birding if I can. .
