19 oktober: Vogeltrek in Nederland

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Birds NL EN

On waarneming.nl, I saw a number of species that I had never seen before and that had been showing themselves in one spot for several days. The first species I found was a small group of Lesser White-fronted Geese in the Oudeland van Strijen. Beautiful geese with a beautiful head and eye rings. At 53-66 cm, it is not a small bird, but it is a small version of the 65-78 cm large White-fronted Goose. The second was even easier: a Pygmy Cormorant in the Willeskop Nature Development Area (Polsbroekerdam). It involved walking through a muddy path for a bit, but the bird showed itself calmly from a great distance. The third was a Red-necked Goose, a fairly small, beautiful goose. Indeed, a distinctly red neck.
