Carnisse Grienden
It isn't one of the Netherlands' major birding sites, but might be convenient
for someone visiting Rotterdam who only has a couple of hours to spare. ... seen
over 130 species here, but then that has taken a few years.
The best time is spring, when it has breeding Marsh Warblers, Bluethroats and
Redstarts among other species. Short-toed Treecreepers and Willow Tits are
resident. Marsh Harriers turn up occasionally, and can often be seen on the
other side of the river.
Other species I have found here include Little Ringed Plover, Ruff, Water Rail,
Spoonbill, Kingfisher, Icterine Warbler (though not recently), Goshawk and Green
sandpiper.
The river here is tidal fresh water, and the chance of waders is better at low
tide. Tide times are about the same as at Rotterdam.
Directions: take the Barendrecht exit from the A29. Turn right (west) and
drive a few hundred metres to a roundabout. Take the exit just over half-way
around, and then almost immediately turn left (heading south - Carnisseweg).
Turn right at the junction just before the dyke. Follow the road for about a
kilometre until you reach a little road going up over the dyke; there is a car
park on the other side. The paths are easy to find.

November, 2009 (Saturday) - a city park in Leiden: "Lots
of good birds in the trees, including Short-toed
Treecreeper and Firecrest.
Redwings were
migrating and flying over, as well as hanging out in fruiting trees. Rose-ringed
Parakeets flew
through frequently. "

Skjolden Cruise Port
-
The village of Skjolden lies at the head of the Sognefjord -- the largest fjord
in Norway, and second longest in the world. Skjolden is a smattering of red,
brown and white houses, home to some 300 inhabitants, one hotel, one primary
school and three campsites.
