Ringmærkningen: Conditions were too rainy and windy for ringing today. Hans came by the station today and picked up the nets taken down by Henrik earlier this week. 

Trækket på Odden: Sea foam tossed up by the high winds littered my path as I walked to the tip before sunrise this morning. These high winds were set to continue for the duration of the count, so I sought shelter in the Marine Station. Very few birds counted by me today. A flock of Bean Geese/Sædgås was a nice treat, flying by relatively close. Also several Razorbill/Alk recorded. A solo count for me today meant that I had to find ways to entertain myself with the low number of migrating birds. Singing 80's songs seemed to do the trick. Depeche Mode and Duran Duran, mostly. Apologies to any beach goers for my pitchy renditions (particularly my version of Personal Jesus), but I hoped the blankets of rain and strong wind drowned me out. The weather is forecast to be similarly galey over the coming days, but we will see if the wind blows in anything exciting.
