Bruggen Camp and Niederkruchten, Germany, 29/12/1988
Dull, misty.
The woodlands on camp were virtually 'dead' with hardly any life, let alone birds seen, only Bullfinch, Long-Tailed Tit, Crested Tit, Chaffinch seen near car.
Niederkruchten was much better with Woodpigeon, Carrion Crow, Robin and Wren seen quickly. A large feeding party of birds was found and Long-Tailed Tits, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Goldcrest, Treecreeper*, Nuthatch, Willow Tit and a Great Spotted Woodpecker also seen.
*Although bird named as Treecreeper the bird seen could equally have been a Short-Toed Treecreeper which would probably be more likely in Central Europe.
15 species including 0 new species.
