On the 19th of October Tammo did some counting there, and in just a two hours of counting (10-12) he had 22 Buzzards and 11 Sparrowhawks. Not a bad result for a two-hour count.

The next day (20 october) we stood there from 9:15 till 12:15. During these three hours we experienced massive migration!

One of the two migrating Great Grey Shrikes (Lanius excubitor)!
Many groups of Skylarks (Alauda arvensis) passed by.
Here are 3 of the 15 Great White Egrets (Ardea alba) that passed by.
Today (the 27th of October) I decided to go to the Rammelwaard again. Yesterday good numbers of Cranes already passed through the Netherlands and I gave myself the best chance along the IJssel, so why not!
It was really cold (-2 when I left) with quite a strong wind from the north, not ideal when you're travelling 20km on a scooter.. Anyway, arriving at the Rammelwaard, there was little migration. There were many thrushes present however, especially 100s of Fieldfares.
From 9:45-12:15 I counted 19 migrating Buzzards and 6 migrating Sparrowhawks. I also saw, 1 Lesser-spotted Woodpecker, a Redpoll sp, 30 Tundra Bean Geese and many other common migrants/birds.
Greater White-fronted Goose (Anser albifrons)
Wood Pigeons (Columba livia) with some Stock Doves (Columba oenas)
Group of Fieldfares (Turdus pilaris)
Male Sparrowhawk (Accipter nisus), passing by low overhead.
