Turnstone, sanderlings, sunset and North Sea

After 20 January 2020 in the Schoorlse Duinen nature reserve came 21 January. When we saw this sanderling and this turnstone on a North Sea pier.

In the morning, we had heard a nuthatch. And a great spotted woodpecker pecking wood on a tree.

Late in the afternoon, we went to the North Sea beach. Oystercatchers. Two great cormorants land on the North Sea near the pier.

A lesser black-backed gull flying.

On the pier, the turnstone and the sanderling, already mentioned. The sanderling flew away. The turnstone stayed a bit longer.

Then, no more birds, only waves at the pier.

And the sunset over the North Sea.

And the sunset over the Schoorl sand dunes.

And the silhouette of a Wagyu cow as the sun set.
