Note:
  • When I went out this morning at 06.15 h, to see how the weather would be this morning, I heard a Barn Owl screaming.
Local birds and other specialities:
  • The number of Geese, several kilometers to the NW is increasing. Early in the morning it sound as if there are already hundreds of them.
  • Like yesterday, the Lesser Spotted Woodpecker was calling from the decoy. In 2,5 hours I heard the bird calling four times. Yesterday much more.
  • Other local birds; 20 Egyptian Geese, ± 30 Gadwalls, ± 50 Widgeons, Shoveler, Teal, Tufted Duck, Sparrowhawk, Goshawk, Buzzard, >40 Snipes etc.
