Ik ging gisteren naar Texel. Gewoon. Minivakantie. Selfcare. Oh ja, en een kneiterzeldzame vogel kijken. En het was awesome.
Last May the first ever Grey-headed Lapwing in the UK was seen at Low Newton in Northumberland - now apparently there's another one at East Chevington Nature Reserve!

Perhaps the most exciting bird we saw that day was the Little Bustard. We saw 3 different male birds. This bird is quite difficult to see, besides it's camoflauge, it's habitat is being destroyed so there are not many of them left in our province. Sadly the thing that is destroying the habitat the most are solar farms, thousands and thousands. It's horrific to see. #Nature #Birds #Spain #Wildlife #Photography #rarebirds #Naturephotography #Birdphotography #Birdsofmastodon #Andalucia
After quietly traversing the heavily wooded, brushy area around a small, secluded pond last October, my husband and I saw this rare pair of Sandhill Cranes who utterly charmed us with their calls and antics.
Es gibt noch immer keine #veganen Foodfotos von mir im Moment.
Dafür aber wieder einen Vogel, heute das Männchen.
Es ist Knopfaugig und könnte ein ausgeblichenes Schwarzkehlchen sein. Es ist sowas ähnliches. Der Kanarenschmätzer. Diese Vogelart kommt nur auf Fuerteventura vor. Sonst nirgendwo auf der Erde. Und hier wohl mit weniger als 1000 Brutpaaren.
In Englisch heist das Schwarzkehlchen European Stonechat und der hier Canary Island Stone Chat oder sogar Fuerteventura Stonechat.
Finde ich besser. Fuerteventzrakehlchen klingt doch süß.

UPDATE: Additional photos have confirmed this bird’s eye has a light blue iris. Thus this is a leucistic Raven and not albinistic.
This was shared by Kenai Wildlife Refuge. A leucistic raven has been spotted in the Kenai/Nikiski area and photographed by Zak Smith. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
