Henrik vs. Rain

fredag 8. september 2017
af Christian Schano

Vejr: direction - S (192); speed - 11 m/s; cloud cover - 7/8; visibility - 15 km; temperature - 15.2°C

Due to the bad weatherforecast yesterday, I decided to stay in and catch up with some sleep today. Henrik on the other hand, motivated and eager as usual, fought alone against the upcoming storm, in hope to stay out for counting as long as he could. He didn't see any rarities, but had about 5.000 Common Scoters migrating aswell as a few Light- and Dark- breasted Brent Geese. He had over 150 Dunlins, which is still quite nice of course, especially on such a bad day. Passerine migration was very slow today too and around 8:45, the weather proofed it's power and sent Henrik back to the station (just in time before it was raining like crazy). 

The rest of the day was mostly stormy too, but there were a few hours of sunshine in between aswell, although it remained windy all day.
I worked myself through some picture-sorting, so I may be able to post some tomorrow!

All the best, Christian
