Note:
  • Countings by Michel Klemann & Henk-Jan Hof.
  • The weather seemed perfect. The number of birds stayed low although there were some nice species migrating like Bramblings, Hawfinch, Woodlarks, Dunlin, Spotted Redshank, and a Nuthatch flying from willow to willow.
Sunrise 27 sep 2003Local birds and other specialities:
  • A new record of Egyptian Geese. On the muddy bank I counted 77 birds early in the morning. Both Ruddy Shelducks and the Barnacle Goose (who thinks he is an Egyptian Goose) were present.
  • Other local birds: a Long Eared Owl, Kingfisher, Wheatear, Coal Tits, Common Sandpiper, 9 Curlews (we saw this morning 69 different birdspecies).
27 sep 2003; Roost of Egyptian Geese (77 birds) with 2 Ruddy Shelducks and a Barnacle Goose.
