Little grebe and spoonbill

Again to the Baillon’s crakes’ nesting site this morning. Again, I did not see a Baillon’s crake (though others had seen one here yesterday).

This is a snipe video from Britain.

There were black-tailed godwits, a lapwing, and a snipe cleaning its feathers.

A bit further, a little grebe in a canal.

Then, female tufted ducks.

A spoonbill walking past grey lag geese.

A great cormorant. A shoveler. A common sandpiper.

In the Northern part, which is not yet a reserve: Egyptian geese with young.

A male common blue butterfly. Later, a female.

Many goldfinches in shrub. About Carel Fabritius’ famous Goldfinch painting, see here.

A painted lady butterfly.
