Note:
  • Very ~VÉRY~ cold this morning because of strong ENE-winds.
Local birds and other specialities:
  • Local birds: Ruddy Shelduck, 26 Greylag Geese, Goshawk, 3 Buzzards, 12 Mute Swans, 6 Shovelers, Kingfisher.
  • A new Osprey (ad.) (not the one which was here between 3 and 10 oktober) came fishing. After several dives, it catched a fish and flew into a dead alder to eat his breakfast.
  • Quite unusual was a group of six migrating Hooded Crows. Other nice observations were a group of 22 Blue Tits and a couple of Shelducks flying to NE.
