Local birds and other specialities:
  • Like yesterday, the female Stonechat was present. 
  • Just when I stopped counting, it started to rain. On my way home a group of 36 Greylag Geese pasted by; behind it I saw a small group of white birds "Herring Gulls I thought in first instant" but through the binoculars I saw six Little Egrets flying to WSW. They probably passed the countingpoint a few minutes later.
