Note:
  • Eastern winds made the birds fly high. Many of them were only heard.
  • Five raptors in the morning means often a lot of raptormigration during the daytime !
Local birds and other specialities:
  • The Kingfisher is still present; so are Greylag Geese, Egyptian Geese, Water Pipits, Widgeons, Gadwalls, Shovelers etc.
     
    Graffiti
    Altough the weather was nice; soon the blue sky was filled with graffiti; scratched by planes.
