Note:
  • Countings by Michel Klemann & Henk Hof.
Local birds and other specialities:
  • To much fog for normal migration / countings. Many birds were only "heard".
  • Local birds: 2 Redshanks, 2 White Storks, Hobby, 2 Common Sandpipers, Yellow-legged Gull, Turtle Dove, White-fronted Goose, Green Woodpecker, Whitethroat, Snipe. ( In total we heard and/or saw 69 different bird-species)
  • The Bar-headed Goose came from the east and landed on the borders of the river.
  • The Purple Heron was (it sound strange) only heard. It was clearly a heron-call which passed over through the fog, but we couldn't see the bird flying to SW. We checked it just after the countings with all the other "heron-calls-mp3's" and there was no doubt about it.
