Local birds and other specialities:
  • Nice weather and good migration. Redwing were sometimes flying extremely high glittering against a blue sky.
  • A Mistle Trush started to sing for a short while.
  • A late Chiffchaff in the willows.
  • 180 Greylag Geese on the fields nearby. Numbers are still growing every day.
  • Kingfisher still present.
  • After the counting I saw even more Redwings migrating. Now they flew much lower (so perhaps only better to see than earlier today).
