Spotted redshank and nightingale

After yesterday, today to nature reserves in the west of Texel.

First, to the Westerkolk hide at Waal en Burg reserve.

Black-tailed and bar-tailed godwits.

Lapwing. Curlew.

A snipe.

A greenshank.

Sedge warbler singing.

A lapwing drives away a marsh harrier.

Later, in a meadow, common gulls.

In the De Nederlanden part of the Muy rerserve, a nightingale sings.

A buzzard flies past.

Sounds of whitethroat, willow warbler, and pheasant.

A male hen harrier flies past.

This is a video about hen harriers on Texel.

A male wheatear on a dune.

A cuckoo calls.

A linnet on a bush.

A sedge warbler sings while flying.

A small copper butterfly. A small heath butterfly.

As we walk back, a lesser ringed plover.

Back at the hide: spotted redshank. Many bar-tailed and black-tailed godwits. A common sandpiper.
