Jeg taler også Dansk. Nogen gange...

No wonder the lake is deserted. White Tailed Eagle out the front this morning.

@MisterMilo Amateur. Our Lurcher sprinted 200 yards across a deserted beach to throw himself on a dead, rotting, stinking seal. He was still rolling on it whe we got to him. The smell was worse than badger shit. I would have made him walk home...

@BARRA72 Roe? They eat our Blackcurrants, do zoomies in our garden and are on the beach some mornings.

We live in an old Danish farmhouse in the middle of nowhere, an ongoing project. We spent yesterday AM fault finding our network, a mix of wireless and wired which fails every 18 months. It is back to 156/163 Mbps now. Good enough.

Meanwhile, it is Autumn here.

[David B @Ovenpaa]

@SteveCaple4 Yes, good point. I only ever see a fine dog fox on the salt meadow, but where there is one.. No doubt the Lurcher will let us know.

The last of this years wooden fence. We finished it between rain showers.

Something is dropping sizable sticks on the grass. 2.5' long X my thumb diameter. It is the wrong time of year for the Eagles to be nesting, and too far from our trees to be wind damage. Very strange.

@ThatFloWoman They are virtually a daily occourance here on our corner of Morsø on the Limfjord. The noise of the scattering Greylags is deafening. At least they have not killed all the cygnets this year. Yet...

[David B @Ovenpaa]

@TheNorskaPaul Another idiot. I thought such nonsense was the domain of kneecap.

[David B @Ovenpaa]

The busy commute to school this morning. I spotted a single Little Bittern as we left home this morning.

[David B @Ovenpaa]

@SteveCaple4 My favourite was at Saltfleet. I spotted it in a muddy creek about 8 feet below me, so I sent my youngest Lab down to retrieve it. I remember it as well as his first bird.

[David B @Ovenpaa]

@MoorlandAssoc The dogs are loving every minute. Brilliant.

[David B @Ovenpaa]

There are a lot of Emperor Dragonflies out on the path today. You can see a few if you zoom in.

I captured the Pacman Nebula (NGC 281), a star-forming emission nebula in Cassiopeia, about 9,200 light-years away. Its dark dust lane forms a "mouth" like the video game character. This nebula spans ~48 light-years and holds young stars plus Bok globules.

Slightly edited in the Seestar App. ~1.5 hours of integration. Bortle 5/6.

@thenoisyglamour Could be worse, our Lurcher rolled on an extremely dead seal once. I would have made him walk home but it was over 10 miles.

[David B @Ovenpaa]

I spotted two Little Bitterns by the lake this morning. They are rather special things.

[David B @Ovenpaa]

@ArchRose90 He is a dreadful person.

[David B @Ovenpaa]

The last of the drilling on the back field. A season finished, another beginning.

[David B @Ovenpaa]

It is alive with chattering Starlings, they are coming in over the Fjord to us.

[David B @Ovenpaa]

@janepursey Do you think little Eygrets are getting slightly bigger these days? A couple of times I have thought they were Great Eygrets other than the beak colour.

[David B @Ovenpaa]

I am sharing plums with the yellow thing, half each. I have just noticed he seems to be finding his own as well...
