Depends on the clover. White clover indicates sufficient nitrogen just like dandelion.
Dig out or use chemicals.
When reseeding, cover the seeds. If the bird problem is that big, cover with a net or foil.
Not every light grass is Poa Annua. It could also be supina, trivialis, paratensis...
Scarifying should not be done at all. Somehow it has persisted. Aeration is the right way. Possibly aerify and sand as well.

Covering is no longer possible, it is used for playing. We sanded last year, since then there has been no more mud when it rains. I could ventilate again, especially now that the ground is not so hard as stone. On the other hand, the clover itself ensures loose soil through its deep roots - which does not harm the area at all, on the contrary, the compaction was already severe. It doesn't matter, the stuff is green even if it doesn't rain for a long time. It just needs to be kept short so that no children’s feet step on the yellow-black faction. Birds are abundant, which we like. A blackbird digs quite a lot of mulch and loose soil around.

[Mow the lawn short and sand it (quartz sand, washed, fire-dried, 0.2-0.8). But definitely washed. Level with a squeegee or, if not available, with a rake. The lawn can grow through 1-1.5 cm. If you do more at once, you have to overseed. After 4-6 weeks, the lawn looks great. The sand not only levels but also improves water and nutrient supply.] Sounds like you know what you're doing. I see more of a problem with my Worx Landroid robo immediately driving grooves into the sanded area when it goes about its business. How would you approach that then? Deactivate the Landroid for a few weeks, or how? It annoys me a lot, on our lawn (I can't and don't want to call it a lawn ;) ) you have to be careful not to twist your ankle when playing badminton or something like that. Really stupid. The mower also regularly gets stuck because one front wheel gets stuck in a hollow. The cutting height has been set to the maximum from the start, so 60mm. :D

yes then leave the Robi standing. Gradually fill the hollows, but they already seem to be really deep?

I also regularly apply the soil activator. Why so much weed feels comfortable, even though I also fertilize every 4 weeks with a low dose, I don't understand it. It grows wide instead of tall, the stalks don't stand up, did I fertilize too little? It was roughly 20g/m² every 4 weeks, NPK 15-10-10

If you have to level out so much at once, you should turn off the Robi for a while. The sand cannot be compacted. For smaller repairs or less sand, it can continue to work without any problems.

do you also have a Robi? Daily mowing is optimal. This makes the lawn denser, meaning it grows wider instead of taller. Depending on the type of grass, this varies. Occasionally aerating / scarifying helps to straighten the blades. Then mow again.
