of March the weather was fine. The expected first Willow Warbler and Yellow Wagtail were reported. The migration comes very slowly. Today I finally had my first Barn Swallow and a few Sand Martins. A Marsh Harrier risked crossing to Vlieland. From the brilliant new vantage point at the Robbenjager four Pied Wagtails show themselves well. The two Cranes are still busy foraging in polder De Eendracht. The Green-winged Teal is still present in polder Dijkmanshuizen and can be seen from the hide. Also several Mediterranean Gulls were seen at this place.
