Of a rainy morning and animals on a long afternoon walk

Around three in the morning heavy rain started and when I checked on DMI I only saw a big rainfront that would not be over soon. It took until noon that the weather improoved.

It was a very dry spring so far so I guess nature really needed it.

The bad weather meant an indoor morning for us.

After lunch, I checked some more data and went for a long walk in the bog.

Bird highlights were a Ring Ouzel „Ringdrossel“ and two Whinchats „Bynkefugl“. Mostly, I only see Stonechats „Sortstrubet Bynkefugle“ around the station or in the bog, so these two were nice. I also found some other nice animals in the bog, moths, caterpillars of moths, a frog, a lizzard, a butterfly and a grasshopper, I will show my favorites of my walk.

Levi´s parents and sister were visisting today and Emma backed us a cake that we will eat tomorrow. After this slow day we are looking forward to the morning in the field tomorrow.
