Hi,
a pitty that u didn't receive any helpful answers, surely there are some birders around Freiburg.
I don't live there, but in the near of Nuremberg and we got both species here, tengmalms owl and pygmy owl.
Last week i was lucky to watch male and female pygmy owls mating, without great fear under unbeleivable conditions (10 Meters, sunlight, 7 o'clock p.m.), right from a footpath without any hide in a large forest area (Sebalder Reichswald).
Tengmalms owl is more difficult to watch, they start calling some hours after sunset.
Also European Nightjar and Woodcock are quite common birds of the evening here.
So if You will be in Germany next time with some time to spend.. feel free to send me a pm.
Good birding
Stefan

Owls in the Black Forest
Did you get any joy with this? I am going to the Black Forest next April and was wondering if you found any contacts?

Never got anything. Try via www.club300.de, this should hopefully be more successful.

Freiburg is good for Alpine Swift.
At the pass from Bötzingen to Voigtsburg is chance for Cirl Bunting ( from pass to about 200 m west ). But I suppose it is hard to find new.
Near Freiburg You can also look for Freiburger Rieselfeld. Melodious Warbler was reported there.
In the Kaiserstuhl Lenzenberg near Ihringen is intersting. Not so easy to find, ask people in Ihringen for Lenzenberg. Park Your car somewhere down and hike in this area.
