Office work and cleaning day

As usual, my alarm was set for opening time. After I had turned it off I listened in the silent house. Big raindrops drummed against my window. I checked the DMI radar on my phone, it looked like that. So I snuggled back into my pillow and went back to sleep. Later in the day the rain stopped, but we all had some office work to do so we stayed inside. In the afternoon, we did a thorough cleaning of the station.

After, Rose and I went to the beach. We would have liked to walk to the sabine bunker and back through the dunes, but the military area was closed. So we stood at the border to the military area with the telescope and watched the Terns: Now there are Sandwich Terns “Splitterne”, Common Terns “Fjordterne” and Little Terns “Dværgterne” resting on the beach.

Although there was rain in the night, I had the light in my small trap on. And I had two new species today: Orthosia cruda “Lille forårsugle” and Orthosia cerasi “Rødgul forårsugle”.
