We drive to the Qued Messa River in the morning. The river runs through a small-scale farm area, which is very suitable for the small brown birds in the bushes. There are many herons and spoonbills in the river. There is no visible tide here, although we do see a common snipe. It is a beautiful area, where life is different from the Netherlands.
At the parking lot, the manager announces that he wants to show a nightjar for 50 Durham per person. We get a small discount, and the bird appears to be sleeping in the bush next to his house, 50 steps from the parking lot. But just like the previous nightjar, it takes a long time before I see it, but when I see it, I understand that those birds have enough protection with their camouflage.
I skip the last trip of the day, my energy is gone. The group sees another group of curlews.
