Temperatures are still mild after sunset and wind is calm. It is a pleasant early spring evening in March. Common Blackbird and Song Thrush are the loudest singers of the dusk chorus joint by other forest birds as well. Night approaches and the nearly full moon shines brightly. The European Robin is the last singing bird and its song slowly fades as nightfall continues. The night is quiet, but occasionally interrupted by overflying Mallards and Goldeneyes. Redwings and Eurasian Woodcocks start their migration. A distant flock of Eurasian Wigeon pass by and the night becomes quiet again.
