Ringmærkningen: No ringing today... :(

Trækket på Odden: With the strong winds blowing in Gedser all day long, it wasn’t possible to ring. Usually, there are people to talk to at 5 am, but this morning I (Théophile) was alone, eating breakfast in a sleeping house. I joined Louis, who was in charge of the count, just after he saw the first two Caspian terns of the season (nice one!), just before 6 am. It was a calm morning with not many birds, except for a good migration of Barnacle geese, with over 600 birds seen during the five hours. I must say that the company was really nice, with first Anne-Marie and then Oliver.

Tomorrow is the Open house, so we are expecting many people, and hopefully many birds too !

The rest of the day: As we suddenly had a morning off, most of us chose to sleep a few extra hours, and made pancakes for breakfast. Later some people came over to prepare for the Open House tomorrow, with a lot of nice things for sale to examine. After a long day of talking, we (Cyann and Mathilde) had hyped eachother up enough for fresh haircuts. While I cooked dinner, Cyann even got to work on Théos hair. We also tried to convince Sjoerd and Olga to join the club, but no to avail. Gedser No Birds Hair Salon made 3/5 stars today.
