26 October 2013. After our earlier birdwatching that day around De Cocksdorp, to the south, along the Wadden sea dike. As we arrived at the north side of the Schorren mudflats, a brent goose.
Closer to the water, as the photo shows, left to right: a ringed plover; three sanderlings; another ringed plover; and another sanderling.
Brent geese. Oystercatchers. Many mallards. A male wigeon.
Great cormorants. Curlews.
In the sea, swimming shelducks.
A little egret.
Then, many curlews and other birds take off in flight. What frightened them? Stay tuned, as there will be more blog posts on the Schorren birds.
