Was in Bonn at my girlfriends place ( at the moment we are unlucky enough not to live together-its the jobs);
On saturday we where shopping, but the morning started nicely with a hawfinch seen from the backyard window, together with the usual lot of Blue and Great tit, house sparrow, magpie, black crow, robin, blackbird, greenfinch.
On sunday we where in a nature protection area at the mouth of the river Sieg , slightly north of Bonn. We saw:
Greylag goose
Egyptian goose
Mallard
Mute swan
Goshawk
Peregrine
Kestrel
Common Buzzard
Blackbird
Robin
Kingfisher
Blackheaded gull
Common gull
Ringnecked parakeet
great pied woodpecker
little grebe
Blue tit
Great tit
wood pigeon
chaffinch
nuthatch
jay
black crow
cormorant
goldfinch
winter wren
Starling
and we only heard
green woodpecker
Neither magpies nor Redwings though (The weeks before we had lots of redwings everywhere-many more than you normally see...)
