Note:
  • A group of five Purple Herons flew in a straught line to south, as far as I could see with my 10 x 40. This was the second time that I saw migrating Purple Herons on this spot. The first time was 5-aug-1997 when two birds flew to the SE.
Local birds and other specialities:
  • In the first 15 minutes, a Bluethroat was singing his last song of the year.
