Another slow day at the station

Observation:

Ringing:

Little tern project:

Today was a very slow day for the Little tern observation. In the two hours I was there, I only saw 2 Little terns flying, and one of them made a landing in the fence. Besides those 2 little terns, I have seen 5 Common ringed plovers walking and scraping in the fence, which was nice to see. That reminded me to go and check the nest of the ringed plover we saw on one of our first days, but sadly it was empty. I also couldn't find any traces in the surrounding area (probably because of the wind).

After checking for the nest, I noticed a part of the electric fence wiring was broken. I contacted Joseph about it and fixed it so the chances of predators coming in wouldn't be increased.
