Wildertweiher with migratory birds and others, November 2024

Finally saw redwings and fieldfare in our area (after about 3 years),and heard a water rail (they're supposed to be very hard to see, and it was already getting dark, but it was exactly the area of reeds on the Wildertweiher that they'd prefer. A total of 11 species is included.

Walked from Illnau to Fehraltorf through the area of Wildertweiher and the nature area:
