Note:
  • Very good migration this morning. To much to write it down so I used my memo-recorder today. There was also a lot of hunting going on, it seemed like war ! !

  • Because of the good migration, I stayed an other two and a half hour. For the results of the late morningcountings today, click here
Local birds and other specialities:
  • A group of 16 Egyptian Geese, the Ruddy Shelduck and more than 120 Widgeons, one Pintail and a couple of Shovelers were present.

  • In the decoy; Kingfisher, Goshawk, 3 Great Spotted - and 1 Lesser Spotted Woodpecher.
    For the first time since 1994 I saw a Magpie at the observationpoint during the late morningcountings. The bird flew very high, to WSW and I didn't see him going down; probably a migrant??
