Waders and big moth of Terschelling island

Still 22 September 2019 along the Wadden Sea coast of Terschelling island. A whimbrel standing on a small stone dike.

A bit further, a bigger relative of whimbrels, this curlew.

Then, a flock of hundreds of dunlin and redshanks. And greenshanks.

Two meadow pipits on a pole and a fence.

There was also one closer to the shore.

As we walk back, we see a big moth on a fence: a convolvulus hawk moth.

On a roof, not just lichen, but also this white wagtail.

Near Oosterend, a buzzard on a pole.

Stay tuned, as there will be more about Terschelling on 22 September 2019!
