We arrived on Koos island in Germany on 2 October 2016. We saw these Uckermark cattle there. This cattle breed was originally reared in 1972, the German Democratic Republic time. They are good for stopping marshy areas from over growing.
This German video is about Koos island.
Warden Roland Abraham told us about birds which had nested on Koos in 2016. These were the nesting couples numbers:
6-8 corn bunting
4-6 shelduck
12 avocet
1 oystercatcher
1 ringed plover
1 little ringed plover
2 red-breasted merganser
22 northern lapwing
6-8 redshank
10-15 bearded reedling
7-10 water rail
1-2 short-eared owl
2 bluethroat
As for migratory birds, staying there in the fall of 2015, the numbers of individuals were:
3800 Eurasian crane
20,000-40,000 starlings, sleeping in the reed beds
160 Caspian tern
5000 golden plover
5000 northern lapwing
500-800 barnacle geese
50-80 curlews
During spring migration, 20,000 scaups. 50,000 barn swallows used to rest here.
We see a wigeon flying. And two shelducks flying.
Ringed plovers and dunlin on the ground.
A Caspian tern flies past.
As we walk back, a young bearded reedling in a reed bed.
A whitethroat on a bush. Probably, this bird is on migration.
On the horizon, a church tower.
Our guides hoped to see corn buntings, but I did not see any.
We have lunch at the home of Hans Joosten, a Dutch ecology professor living here. He tells us about his activities in restoring peat bog biodiversity in various countries.
In the afternoon, we see a sea eagle on a tree.
In a coastal tidal zone, we see an adult and a juvenile Caspian tern.
Then, in Wampen village, 15:55: house sparrows.
This video shows an aerial view of Wampen and Greifswald.
16:10, Greifswald harbour: a black-headed gull.
Then, to Wieck harbour, where our ship had arrived meanwhile.
