A Weekend migration counting at the Kamperhoek

Last weekend I counted again on the Kamperhoek. On Saturday, the weather did not cooperate but on Sunday that was to some extent compensated. Saturday morning I drove at 5.45 o’clock away from Uden. Along the way it started to rain at the height of Utrecht and I had to rain around Almere.
