Together with his colleague from the Nature Conservation Station Unterelbe, Jan-Henrik Junge, Hilger Lemke – site manager for northern Lower Saxony in the LIFE IP GrassBirdHabitats – was accompanied by a film crew from the North German Broadcasting (NDR) format Nordseereport to present their work. NDR was looking for nature conservation experts who are familiar with the Elbe estuary and its tributary Oste, and introduce the visitors to the unique characteristics of the local flora and fauna for the documentary.
The two experts presented their work and the surrounding nature on the dyke under unexpectedly cold June temperatures and a biting wind. “The weather and light conditions were perfect and the meadow birds were lively and vocal. Perfectly staged to be captured with the telephoto lens of the NDR camera”, recounts Hilger Lemke this exciting moment.
The entire report “Adventures at the Oste – ferries, bike tours and river trips with North Sea flair” can be viewed online in German with subtitles at the following link: Nordseereport (YouTube.com). (The link leads directly to the part with our colleagues Hilger Lemke and Jan-Henrik Junge, starting at the 20th minute.)
