Dabchick and kingfisher [Birds] — Administrator @ 6:13 pm

This video from Finland shows a dabchick, or Tachybaptus ruficollis, little grebe, passing a moorhen and a coot.

Today, the river Eem by ship from Amersfoort to the north.

In the harbour of Amersfoort, great crested grebe and coots. And black-headed gulls. A bit further, great cormorants and mallards.

A buzzard. Mute swans. Herring, common, and black-headed gulls.

We passed the area, where recently there had been research on great egrets, white-fronted geese, and voles.

Northern lapwings and oystercatchers.

Canada geese, grey lagged geese, domestic geese, and Egyptian geese.

A bit further, a dabchick passing the ship, swimming and diving. And a kingfisher. And two great crested grebes courting. A moorhen. A magpie.

Black-tailed godwits flying and calling.

Shelducks on a meadow. Redshanks.

A meadow pipit flies across the river.
