Diver's day!

24-11-2013 

The morning began very well, with a lot of birds on the garden, quiet windy but not so much. The birds suddenly dissapeared, so finally we closed the nets and we went to the tip with Gert. The excellent number of 382 Divers, mostly part Red-throated, watched all of them by Juho! 2 Hen Harrier, Long-tailed Ducks, Eiders, Great Scaups, Tufted Ducks, Red-breasted Mergansers, Goosanders, Wigeons, Mallards, 5 Canadian Geese, 2 Red-necked Grebes, 1 Great Crested Grebe, 3 Sanderlings, Mute  and Whooper Swans, 3 Common Buzards and 1 PURPLE SANDPIPER!!
There was one Waxwing on the top of one tree at the garden....but of course....it flew somewhere else less in the nets.
