Note:
  • Today my last early morningcounting on this location. Since the first counting on 20 august 1994 
  • To give you an idea of the migration some numbers:
    • In nine years, I have been counting here 366 times in the earlymorning.
    • Total countingtime in these mornings: 897 hour and 40 minutes
    • Total observations of migrating birds: 32.339
    • Total number of migrating birds: 208.992
    • Total different migrating species:132
    • But most important; it's nice to experience birdmigration year by year.
  • I'm going to remove but will be back soon, counting on an other spot somewhere near Zutphen.
Local birds and other specialities:
  • Numbers of ducks have increased; one Shoveler, Mallards, 17 Gadwalls, 4 Widgeons, 4 Pochards, 3 Teals.
