Texel sanderlings and wheatear

This is a Dutch video about birds on Texel island in May 2013.

After 8 October, Thursday 9 October 2014 on Texel.

First, to the Slufter. On our way, a flock of golden plovers on a field.

Then, the sand dunes south of the Slufter.

We reach the North Sea beach.

Sanderlings are not immediately conspicuous, being small and usually alone or in small groups.

However, they are less shy than many other bird species.

One sanderling takes a bath near the tide line.

As we go back through the sand dunes, a northern wheatear.

As we go back through central Texel, a redshank lands on a pole in a canal.
