Breaking bird weekend in Offenbach: Cute with!
Breaking bird weekend in Offenbach: Cute with!
On Friday, May 11, 2025, a sunny and warm weekend brings the residents of Offenbach to a good atmosphere. According to op-online.de, temperatures of up to 25 degrees Celsius are expected, while the rain remains in the distance.
As part of this mild weather, the NABU invites you to the "Hour of the Garden Birds" campaign. This takes place between May 9 and 11, and participants can report their sightings by May 19. The initiative aims to better capture the bird population in Germany. Over 9,000 bird observers have already spotted more than 190,000 birds by May 10, which corresponds to a high level of interest in domestic ornithology.
weather conditions and ice saints
The weather forecast for the weekend shows pleasant temperatures between 19 and 23 degrees on Saturday, with nightly cooling to values between 9 and 4 degrees. Sunday will be particularly pronounced with a lot of sunshine and values of 20 to 25 degrees in the southwest.
The German Weather Service (DWD) warns of sub-temperatures on Saturday night, especially in North and Central Hesse. This coincides with the so -called "ice saints", which traditionally apply to the last frost nights in spring and can bring temperatures of ice levels with them. Diploma meteorologist Dominik Jung warns of the extraordinary dryness of this corn, which has been the driest since the beginning of the weather records. The risk of forest fires also increases significantly due to the continuing drought.
results of the bird count
The "hour of garden birds" provides interesting results. The most frequent bird species viewed are the house sparrow and the cabbage. The blackbird has also made it into the top 3, but shows a decline in views by 8 % compared to the previous year. While the decline in the blackbirds, especially in northern Germany, is attributed to suspicion of the Usutu virus, swallow species such as the flue swallow declines due to insect lack and lack of nesting.
The influence of climate change on bird populations is particularly impressive. The bird station emphasizes that the climate change has caused significant changes in the phenology and spread of species. This leads to challenges in reproduction and the survival of many birds.
The results of the bird counting action flow into a comprehensive database and help to recognize nature conservation organizations, long -term trends and changes in the bird populations. This is particularly important to develop suitable measures to protect the species and to raise awareness of the influence of human activities on the animal world.
In view of these developments, the NABU recommends that birds in our gardens provide water and to clean them regularly in order to avoid germ collections. The "hour of garden birds" not only serves the purpose of the count, but also to promote environmental awareness and engagement for domestic nature.| Details | |
