De Wieden

The observationpoint were I have been counting for several years (only in autumns) was located at the west-side of the nature reserve De Wieden in the province Overijssel The village Meppel is located two kilometers to the east. I started on this location in the autumn of 1994 with regular earlymorning counts. I stopped counting here in september 2002 after 366 Early Morning Countings in the last nine years. On the picture below you have a closer look at the map. I have been counting at the end of the road "Zandweg".
