Young avocet, mating redshanks

This is another avocet video, including chicks.

This morning, the young great spotted woodpeckers in the tree got a visit from their father.

In the Formerumerbos, a speckled wood butterfly.

Near the Wadden coast, many dunlin. And eider ducks.

Later, a juvenile avocet. And two redshanks mating.

Then, a spoonbill, and adult avocets.

This is my last evening on bicycle through the farmland, with black-tailed godwits flying closely overhead. I will remember this place fondly.
