1999. Mid-winter counts of raptors in the Hoeksche Waard. De Takkeling
7: 113-115. In January 1998 and 1999 counts of wintering raptors
were carried out in the Hoeksche Waard, situated 20 km south of
Rotterdam, in the northern delta of the southwestern Netherlands. For
the first time since 1983, both in 1998 and in 1999 a total of more than
300 raptors were counted. Common Buzzard is doing well in the Hoeksche
Waard, both as winter visitor and as
breeding bird. Summer 1998 20 pairs of Common Buzzards were found
in the area. Sparrowhawk (5 pairs in 1998) and Goshawk (2-3 pairs in
1998) have recently colonised in the Hoeksche Waard. (Lijster 17, 3299
