The night before, Carlos, Annemarie, Kieran, and Helena went wader ringing on Löten together with Magnus Friberg. A Wood Sandpiper, two Ruff and a Greenshank were caught. All of them were born this year.
This afternoon, Annemarie, Bruno, and Kieran have gone with Magnus Friberg to try and see Eagle Owls. We wish them the best of luck!
