Local birds and other specialities:
  • This morning, a group of 24 Greylag Geese flew over to SW with one small Goose in the formation. With the telescope we could see that this was a Canada Goose which is called the Hutchin's Canada Goose. Only one hour later, a group of 19 Greylag Geese and the Hutchin's Goose (probably the same) came from SW and landed on the water of the "Kiersche Wijde" At the observationpoint, I saw this species earlier; 20-aug-98 when a group of five flew to SSE. 
  • Other local species, Kingfisher, Purple Heron, Shoveler, Tufted Duck 6, Ruddy Shelduck.
