Seven little egrets, thousands of dunlin, on Texel island [Birds] — Administrator @ 8:26 pm


This video from Spain is about the little egret.

This is the last log in my series about Texel island in September-1 October this year.

The first bird of today was a collared dove (see also here) in De Koog village.

Then, we went south. At De Petten nature reserve, spoonbills, and many wigeon. A kingfisher flying fast across the water.

Then, De Geul; with gadwall ducks and little grebes.

At the Mokbaai, many widgeon, avocets, and bar-tailed godwits.

Shelducks; and a male pintail duck.

Quite some redshanks; and very many more dunlin. Thousands of them, sometimes flying away in spectacular flocks.

Later, the other, western, bank of the Mokbaai. The same species; also curlews. And, very spectacular for this rare species: a group of seven little egrets close together!
