Hello,

in the book "Vogelbeoachten in der Schweiz" in written Mornell is near Flims end of August to middle of September.
How they will be arrive e.g. rather a big group or at first some and increase until 2 weeks ?
How can I check when they will arrive e.g. homepage and so on ?

Thank You.


Best regards
Dieter

Keep an eye out for them on on www.ornitho.ch (there's a German version if you need it) or www.chclub300.ch. There are a few traditional spots, but I think Cassonsgrat is the most reliable (and easy to get to from Flims).

I can only repeat what I've said you before: 20. August to 10. September is their usual time. Last year some were seen longer.
Last year the first were seen on the 15. August (8 birds), the last one on the 28. September. Up to 12 birds were present.
Check also www.chclub300.ch and Cassonsgrat.

If I remember well, you can get Dotterels closer to Berlin - Several years ago, one former military area in Brandenburg was a sure stopping point - and may still be.

BTW, it is curious how migrating Dotterels stop every year in the same spot and shun 1000s of other places.

I finally made it up to Cassonsgrat (near Flims) and found four Dotterels. Wonderful birds! Seems to be a really reliable site.

The cablecar will go on operating at least until 2014, maybe even longer. It will then be replaced by a new one.
The correct link for ornitho is www.ornitho.ch
