Note:
  • Altough it was raining in big parts of the country, I had beautiful weather.
Local birds and other specialities:
  • Again this morning, the Osprey came out of the decoy to try to catch some fresh fish. He wasn't lucky this morning. Several times he dived into the water before he flew away.
  • A nice group of 93 Cormorants flew straight over me.
  • Other local birds: Mute Swan 10, Egyptian Goose 9, Widgeon 85, Gadwall 7, Shoveler 2, Ruddy Shelduck, Goshawk, Kingfisher.
