Birds! - update

Today the weather was variable. Unfortunately the wind didn't calm quite as much as we had hoped, however, we did manage to open more than half the nets at various times. Contrary to the weather forecast, the 'current observations' and the Radar we did have quite a bit of snow today, at times heavy and prolonged. As a result nets were repeatedly closed and reopened and by early afternoon, as the wind got stronger and the birds had disappeared we left them closed.

Big news of the day -we caught some birds!! The first since the 15th March!! 2 Great Tits and 2 Blue Tits... only 4 in total but it is a start and hopefully a total we can build on this week!

Other sightings were few but included a Ringed Plover and a Golden Plover on the beach and 5 Velvet Scoter offshore.


 
 
Teresa og Matt har adskillige dage - med et par afbrydelser - været sneet inde på Gedser Odde, idet vejen meget let lukker med snedriver ved Frisenfelt. Sneploven plejer at vende om samme sted og lade folk på Odden sejle deres egen sø!
I dag og i går var ingen undtagelse: Driverne lå i en meters højde over vejbanen, og tilmed havde der været jordfygning!
