Surfscoter and Black Scoter on the sea!

At 3 o´clock in the morning I was downstairs and checked if the weather was really as bad as DMI showed it. First I went to the moths traps and while there was only a light drizzle when I went out, it turened into a heavy rain soon. When I was on my way back to the station from the moths trap at the lighthouse garden, I got completely soaked. I set down to indentify the moths and went out several times to check on the rain, but every time I got wet, so the nets stayed closed this morning.

I had four new moths species today, pictures below.

Nevertheless, I stayed up the whole morning and was quite productive, after doing the moths I did some data work and it is all finished now. At nine, when the house slowly got awake, I went to bed again and had a good sleep until about 12:00.

While I was fast asleep, Henrik and Thomas went out with their skopes and had a Surfscoter „Brilleand“ and a Black Scoter „Amerikansk Sortand“. Congrads!

In the evening, Anne arrived, she will stay over the weekend, now we are nine people here!

Tommorow morning looks good again for ringing, let´s hope for some birds.

 At the station: Henrik Böhmer, Thomas Kristensen, Lise Mastrup, Emma Gray, Levi van den Os, Joseph Stephan and Frida, Hanelie Sidhu, Anne Hjortlund Hansen, Marit Nillissen and her mom
