A Ranger, responsible as a conservationist for the coastal region in Felixstowe, has us in a 2 hour tour, demonstrated and explained a lot of interesting animals and plants. Of particular interest was, that there different birds are caught with nets and then ringed. There was also to see some birds, who have well camouflaged brooded on the floor. As was yesterday you get a feeling, how valuable and absolutely worth protecting our environment!
In the evening Katya has conjured up a delicious time aboard the SUMMER. It was a pleasure for us to spend with Ann and Tom a nice evening on board.
