Chaffinch number one during bird count day
Saturday, October 6, 2012
Few birds migrate because of bad [rainy] weather
During the national bird count day the chaffinch was most often counted, not less than 41,066 times, followed by starlings and lapwings. Today thousands of birdwatchers counted as many birds as possible across the country at more than 150 different locations. BirdLife Netherlands coordinated this massive migratory bird count, part of Euro BirdWatch, with more than 40 countries participating. In the Netherlands 228,126 birds were counted and birders observed 169 species.
