birding at Klingnauer Stausee
It was a very special friday: I had a day off AND the sun was shining! So I took the chance to go birding at the Klingnauer Stausee. The day before an Avocet was reported to ornitho – that might be the reason why there were some other birders around. I saw it too, but I couldn’t take a good picture.
I had a great time and saw 42 species, 3 lifers (Pied Avocet, Water Pipit, European Water Rail) and the Eurasian Stonechat for the first time in Switzerland.
