Local birds and other specialities:
Sunrise 11 nov-2002
  • The waterlevel of the river is still rising. Large numbers of Geese; 1100 White-fronted and 300 Greylag Geese were foraging on the meadows. In between: hundreds of Black-headed Gulls, Wigeons, Lapwings, 5 Golden Plovers, 2 White Storks.
  • In the willows behind me, still one Chiffchaff present.
  • On a roost of Rose-ringed Parakeets in Amsterdam; 1140 birds were counted on 22 october 2002!!

    • Mail from EBNNL. And this morning, for the first time, a Rose-ringed Parakeet passed the counting point, flying to NE. Of course I don't know the origin of this bird, but the population in the Netherlands seems to grow quick at the moment. There seems also to be a group of free-flying Rose-ringed - & Monk Parakeets in Apeldoorn, about 15 kilometres WNW from here.
