Sunrise 19-oct-2002Note:
  • When I arrived, a Long-eared Owl flew away through the willows.
  • The temperature was low and the birds started early to fly.
  • Soon the first groups of Redwings passed by and soon there were large groups flying over one by one. The largest group I saw counted 300 Redwings.

  •
