A day of mixed feelings.
I started the day with a short walk from the hotel through a small wooded area where I picked up
Eurasian Nuthatch (Trepador Azul / Sitta europaea),
Great (Carbonera Común / Parus major) and
Eurasian Blue Tit (Herrerillo Común / Cyanistes caeruleus),
Eurasian Tree Sparrow (Gorrión Molinero / Passer montanus),
European Greenfinch (Verderón Común / Chloris chloris),
Common Chaffinch (Pinzón Vulgar / Fringilla coelebs),
Carrion Crow (Corneja Negra / Corvus corone),
Eurasian Magpie (Urraca Común / Pica pica),
Eurasian Jay (Arrendajo Euroasiático / Garrulus glandarius),
Common Blackbird (Mirlo Común / Turdus merula),
Great Spotted Woodpecker (Pico Picapinos / Dendrocopos major),
European Robin (Petirrojo Europeo / Erithacus rubecula),
Common Woodpigeon (Paloma Torcaz / Columba palumbus) and
Eurasian Wren (Chochin paleártico / Troglodytes troglodytes).
Later we picked up Al and headed just down the road to the Bergen / Belsen Monument where we walked around the grounds, woodlands and remains of the POW / Concentration Camp, this was a couple of hours of mixed emotions. After the grounds we spent another three hours in the documentation center, this was a place that really opened your eyes to how bad the human race can be.
In the grounds and woodlands I recorded several very nice species including an immature
White-tailed Eagle (Pigargo Europeo /Haliaeetus albicilla),
Black Woodpecker (Picamaderos Negro / Dryocopus martius),
Great Grey Shrike (Alcaudón Norteño / Lanius excubitor),
Mistle Thrush (Zorzal Charlo / Turdus viscivorus),
Fieldfare (Zorzal Real / Turdus pilaris),
Goldcrest (Reyezuelo Sencillo / Regulus regulus),
Marsh Tit (Carbonero Palustre / Poecile palustris),
Common Buzzard (Busardo Ratonero / Buteo buteo),
Eurasian Nuthatch,
Great Spotted Woodpecker and
Grey Heron (Garza Real / Ardea cinerea).
