Note:
  • Nice weather again and good migration. I heard Skylarks flying over one hour before sunrise. I stopped counting at ten o'clock, migration was still going on.
Local birds:
  • One Ruddy Shellduck today, Goshawk still present, 3 Bullfinches, 1 Water Pipit, Chiffchaff, 2 Shovelers and some heavy fighting Mute Swans. In total I saw or heard a total of 59 different birdspecies this morning, not bad for two and a half hour.
