Note:
  • Countings by Michel Klemann & Henk Hof. 
  • We heard a Whimbrel but we couldn't find it (or them). The group of 8 Curlews flew very low, the same with the Lapwings and Oystercatchers.
Roost of Black KiteLocal birds and other specialities:
  • Around nine p.m. a Black Kite appeared from the north, circling and gliding and landed into the huge poplars at the other site of the river. It stayed there to roost (see picture).
  • Local birds, 3 Kestrels, 3 Buzzrds, Green Sandpiper, Common Sandpiper.
