Note:
  • When I started this morning, in the west a very sharp line of clouds was coming in with still bright sunny weather in the east. During the countings the edge of clouds went over me.

Local birds and other specialities:
  • Rather cold this morning but no rain and a clear sky. Suddenly Woodpigeons were migrating in numbers. A group of 15 Greater Canada Geese passed me and some groups of Greylag Geese.
  • Two Kingfishers were chasing each other. One Ruddy Shellduck was present an at least 15 Egyptian Goose.
  • Several Water Pipits had been sleeping again in the swamp. They will stay the whole winter.
  • A late Swallow and House Martin were flying together to the south. Perhaps the last ones of the season.
