Black-throated diver resting

Observations : 

This morning, Hanelie joined me for the birdwatching as, unfortunately, she couldn’t set the nets due to the strong wind.
It was lovely to share the birdwatching with her, even though the migration was rather slow. We were still able to watch two black-throated divers [sortstrubet lom] resting in the waves for several minutes. A beautiful sight. We also counted 21 little terns [dværgterne] feeding near the shore.

Todays observations can be seen here.

Ringing : 

There was no ringing today due to the strong wind.

Later that day, we went on a little bike ride around Blavand... in search of a swimsuit! Because, yes, we were planning to brave the bitter cold and go for a spring swim before Hanelie leaves in two weeks’ time. Unfortunately, there were nothing but jumpers and hiking boots in sight!
