All the rest will stay a well-kept secret till Friday afternoon.
In the afternoon everybody was kind of doing his own business. Thereby we managed to confirm 2 Marsh Harrier nest at Fågelsjön, which is great news.
Story of the day: We found two lonely geese-chicks at the canal.
However, the chicks are quite early this year, which is maybe a little bit more of a story. Last year the first chicks hatched about 3 weeks later.
Done with the news.
