Lauwersmeer

Many birders must have stressfull day, chasing the first ever American Robin for NL by car, foot and bike. Lauwersmeer was very comfortable starting with a Wryneck in Lauwersoog (shy als always).

Then we tried Ezumakeeg, the Pectoral Sandpiper showed well amongst a few Curlew Sand, Dunlin and many Wood Sandpipers and Ruff (digiscoped). The area looks very promising for coming weeks.


An afternoon boat-trip on Lauwersmeer started a bit rainy but in the end we found 15+ Black Terns and a mixed flock of Swifts (10s), Swallows and House Martins. The light was already gone - no pictures.
