Note: Unusually numerous Oriental Honey-buzzard as well as in former year (in this year, a number is more than in former one, too), and its mass migration goes latter than usually.
Probably little number of Japanese Sparrowhawk Accipiter gularis should be among Eurasian Sparrowhawks, but A. gularis was underestimated as there were no individuals which had good observation conditions to be exactly identified this year.
Good weather (very clear sky) was present much more often this year differently to 2001.
Any number of birds was underestimated 22-23 September because of powerful smoke from forest burning.
