Beschrijving
The Eichbüel is a good place to observe autumn migration. In front of the hill, the Tamina valley branches off from the Chur Rhine valley. Songbirds (pipits, finches, tits, and others) use the hill as an orientation point and pass through the surrounding shrubs. From about 11 a.m., birds of prey in particular like to use the thermals of the hills to the northeast to spiral upwards and then, following the Tamina valley, pass the Calanda on its northern side (instead of following the Rhine to pass the mountain on its southern side). Later, when visibility is good, the Rhine valley itself can also become interesting.
From April to September, Gekraagde Roodstaart is present as a breeding bird. From September to mid-October, Bruine Kiekendief is observed. On a good day, 21 individuals were counted! In early autumn, Wespendief can be observed (the record here is 55 individuals), as well as Boomvalk and, rarely, Visarend. Later, Sperwer migrates through. Among the most numerous migrants is Buizerd. Single observations exist of Slangenarend and Grauwe Kiekendief. The surrounding ridgelines and, in good visibility, peaks can also be checked for local birds of prey such as Steenarend and Lammergier.

Most of these observations come from a few coordinated visits which are part of a recently launched initiative to analyse migratory intensity at various sites in the Sarganserland and Grisons regions. Additional observations can help refine our understanding of bird migration along the northern edge of the Alps.
