Local birds and other specialities: With the N-NE-wind, birds flew high. Most of Tree Pipits and nine out of 25 Blue-headed Wagtails were only heard. Also Swallows were hardly visible with the naked eye. One group of 320 Swallows was found with the binoculars. I could hear them fly over me but couldn't see them without binoculars.
