Note:
  • I've been birdwatching in Falserbo a couple of days so there were no birdcountings in the Wieden these days.

  •  

     
     
     
     
     

    Thousands of Bramblings in the fields (one of the several huges groups we saw in a short time)
    Thousands of Bramblings in the fields northern of Falsterbo; The next day the Swedish birders counted 199.000 migrating Bramblings at Nabben.
    Most impressive at Falsterbo were the huge numbers of migrating Blue Tits, Sparrowhawks, Fieldfares and Redwings, Brambling/Chaffinch, Siskins, the large groups of Woodpigeons; Beautiful Red Kites, Grey Seals, etc...

Local birds and other specialities at the observationpoint in the Wieden:
  • Water Pipits are back; several were staying on the wet grassland.
  • For the first time in all these years there was a calling Nuthatch in the decoy. The nearest breeding place for the Nuthatch is 4 kilometers to the west. Also at the countingpoint "De Vulkaan" at Den Haag, they saw a Nuthatch (Boomklever) today; very scarce there also www.vwgdenhaag.myweb.nl 
  • Bearded Tits were calling from the reedbeds.
  • Other inhabitants; Bullfinch, 2 Jays, a Great Spotted Woodpecker.
