Today, again the “Baillon’s crake reserve”.
Near the southern entrance, a sedge warbler singing.
In the canals: grey lag geese, tufted ducks.
Mallard ducklings.
A gadwall duck. One of several mute swan nests.
A northern lapwing, flying and calling.
In the southern lake, a male teal.
A little ringed plover on a mud bank. Little ringed plover photos: here.
Several coots have chicks. Canada geese have goslings.
A redshank.
Common terns flying. A male shoveler swimming.
In the northern lake: Egyptian geese. A common sandpiper on a muddy island. The big group of black-tailed godwits of weeks ago has continued their spring migration to elsewhere. Still, I hear godwit calls and see one on the muddy island.
This is a wheatear video.
Two northern wheatears on the southern dike of the northern part of the reserve.
A couple of Egyptian geese with goslings, standing next to a black swan.
In the northern meadow, oystercatchers and a hare. A barnacle goose. A greenfinch singing.
