Today began with Hanelie opening the mist nets while David, Henrik, Karen, and I prepared for our daily morning observation. The weather was fantastic - 6°C with a steady west wind and occasional strong gusts.

We were fortunate to observe a resting Great Northern Diver (Gavia immer) along with several species of waterfowl and two species of waders migrating south along the coast. You can find a complete list of all our observations here .

Hanelie had a great time ringing 12 birds in total, including a Goldcrest (Regulus regulus).

After a traditional Danish lunch with delicious rye bread, egg salad, curried herring, and a variety of fish, we spent some time pressure washing the picnic tables. We then painted them, giving the yard a fresh new look.

Before the evening tour, which was guided by Henrik B. and Bent J., we enjoyed a vegetarian pasta amatriciana and some soda.

We're excited for tomorrow - the weather forecast looks amazing again!
