Three students stayed overnight. Marie Riddervold get help from Christian Funder (both “Aarhus Universitet”, Biology) and Annija Uzule (Business Academy Aarhus, Environmental management). Today they were at Langli to prepare for her master thesis to count breeding terns and gulls with a drone and to see how it copes with the counts done before (very short summery). Many thanks to them for helping me in the early morning to open the nets.
