Rock Trush in Graubuenden ? (1 Viewer)

[albatross02]

Hello,

I have got the book "Voegel beobachten in der Schweiz".
There is written a place for Rock Trush is Ramosh in Graunbuenden near Austria.
How good is the chance to find this bird there in this time ?

Also intersting for me is
Barred Warbler ( Sperbergrasmücke )
Alpine Swift
Wallcreeper
Wryneck ( how difficult is it to find ? )
Rock Bunting ( Zippammer ), I have never seen before

also interesting are
Blue Rock Trush ( Blaumerle )
Roller

Best regards
Dieter

Hi Dieter,

Rock Thrush: never easy. There are no records on ornitho.ch from Ramosch this year, but some from Tujetsch and Tschierv (Tschierv is more or less in the same area). I can give you more detailed infos if you're interested. Generally July is a good time for Rock Thrush.

Barred Warbler: A very rare breeder in Switzerland and as far as I know no sightings this year. It's always worth to check any hedge in the Engadin.

Alpine Swift: Not easy in the alps but usually you should see some. Much easier in cities like Zurich or Chur.

Wallcreeper: I don't know reliable sites in Graubünden, but there are records from Poschiavo and Flims. Much easier in the Wallis or Tessin.

Wryneck: hard to find, especially so late. A good area is between Fläsch and Maienfeld (north of Chur).

Rock Bunting: Easy in the Engadin. I could send you some recent sightings in a pm

Blue Rock Thrush: Does not breed in Graubünden. The next breeding sites are in the Tessin (near Belllinzona)

Roller: a rare vagrant to Switzerland. No records this year, the last ones were in western Switzerland in 2009 for some days.

Wallcreeper: I don't know reliable sites in Graubünden, but there are records from Poschiavo and Flims.

Good to know there are some to be seen at Flims.
I wonder if this summer I'll actually get to see one.
Failed so far on various trips to the Alps.
