Busy day!

The day started with Judith and I opening the nets at Kabeltrommelkrattet. It was a nice morning and not so cold, we could hear a lot of birds flying around while waiting for the first round. At this time, Koen and Christian were in their way to Kabeltrommelkrattet to join us for the first round.

Was a really good morning with a lot of birds and good variety. And a bit stressful too! Today we had the Ringing tour group (guided by Simon) visiting us and also there was a Life tour  (guided by Christian and Judith) during the morning. Because of that we had to close the nets early in today's beautiful morning.
The tour was really nice and our new neighbours attended the tour too.

But this wasn't bad at all because we had a lot of birds in all the rounds and could manage to get 71 birds in a bit more than half a morning!

At Jennes Sø Michael was also out ringing a few birds and could enjoy observations of a Great Grey Shrike (Stor Tornskade) in the area.

After closing the nets, we were taking measurements and pictures of the Lesser White-throat (Gærdesanger) which is rarely found at this time of the year. Rolf saw it by the telescope from Verdens Ende 1 too!

After that, we entered today's data and we had lunch. And we spoke with some tourists that came by at Birder's Club.

Meanwhile, Simon was doing activities with junior Rangers and he also received a visit from his grandma and his mom.

We were also doing some computer work during the afternoon. Judith and Christian get their daily swim and I did a clean up at the beach (in and out of the water).
