Birds

Updating list of birds sighted.
Page references are, unless specified otherwise, to Lars Svensson et alia Birds of Europe Second Edition, Princeton Field Guides

Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea) (P p.84) before I bought the bird book in April 2021. Seen in the KGV behind my apartment.

Tree Sparrow (Passer montanus) (P p.372) on my kitchen window ledge April 2021. Perhaps house sparrow. Flew away before I could fully confirm. But seemed too small for house sparrow, and crisper, higher contrast markings than the illustrations on page 373 for house - more like tree.

Pigeon

Egyptian Goose (Alopochan aegyptica) May 2021 banks of Nidda River. Brown eye circle.

Common Swift (Apus apus) June 6 2021 by bird call along Lorscher Strasse.

give up and publish.
