We woke up with rain and wind, so it wasn´t possible to open nets this morning. Around 7:00 we checked the weather again, still raining… our hopes for the standard today were gone and we got back to bed to get some more hours of sleep.

Around 9:30 Benny and Ole came by, the rain was gone and Ramón decided to open some of the nets to try to get some birds.

Benny and Ole brought a delicious Danish breakfast with cake included that we enjoyed around the table.  Hans also came with his family to pick up some berries. Right after they left, the rain came back and we decided to close nets. Good we did it because it´s been raining most of the day!

The afternoon flew by at home, with some sleeping and studying. Ramón went for a run while Anton and me went to the tip to stretch our legs a bit and enjoy some sea bird migration. Now is time for dinner and football. Copenhagen is playing Champions League and we are supporting the Danish team!

Tomorrow the weather doesn´t look very good, still windy… but we will be ready for the big push! We know one day it will come!

De gladeste hilsner
