Dear all,
I hope that all who are involved in teaching this semester have had a good start and that planned activities run well. Together with Beate and Anne Marit, I am now working on the course budgets and other challenges related to teaching and courses running in the spring. We hope that we will be able to give feedback to the course responsible for spring courses soon. If you have any questions or input that you think we should add, just get in touch.
Islet cleanup day September 14th

Last Thursday (14,09) almost 50 amazing people traveled from BIO to Marinbiologisk station at Espeland. Everyone was putt to work collecting plastic and cutting away unwanted vegetation, with great effort from all participants we were able to rid the islets of all plastic and unwanted vegetation, and made them ready for a new nesting season.
The fruits of our labor will be apparent come spring, when Nesting season begins anew, but our friends at Marinbiologisk station are confident that our work will have a significant impact on the number of birds nesting in the area.
Thank you so much to all who participated in this event and made it a success!
And thank you all for the wonderful dinner thereafter.

During the day we even made some nice observations of birds. The common ringed plover or ringed plover (Charadrius hiaticula, NO:Sandlo) is not that commonly seen in this part of Bergen, and the Bar-tailed godwit (Limosa lapponica, NO:Lappspove) is rarely seen in the Bergen area at all.
