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!
