Robin, blue tit or greenfinch? From January 6th to 8th, the State Association for the Protection of Birds (LBV) calls for counting the birds in the garden, on the balcony or in the park. The possible effects of the mild weather after a cold and snowy start to winter in early December could be particularly interesting this year. In a statement by the LBV, biologist Angelika Nelson points out that given the relatively high temperatures, many species may be able to find enough food in nature and therefore come less to the feeding stations. In addition, oaks, beeches and spruces have produced a lot of fruit this year, so that forest species such as nuthatches, jays and hawfinches tend to stay in their traditional habitat. Observations can be made online at until January 16th www.stunden-der-wintervoegel.de be reported.
