Hello to everyone!
Days pass by and the prenuptial migration goes to its ecuador with some dull days and a few other ones with more interesting species to observe and quantities to count,like this past saturday.
At midday I could localize four sanderling (in two pairs) a quite rare but anual bird around here. They were showing quite well and I could manage to picture them with the telescope and the handhelded smartphone (doing it this way, I keep a security distance with the bird in order of not disturbing them). The four individuals were already moulting to their spectacular nuptial feathers.
Another interesting record ,were the two grey plovers on the north shore and a dozen of dunlins patrolling the shore with their mechanical movements feedin frantically.
Once more those observations demonstrate the importance and value of the inland reservoirs for this long distance migrants!!
A pair of sanderlings.
I could manage to count about fifteen of them.
Both making a stopover in the local patch.
Dunlind and sanderlings, in difficult angles from behind not always easy to tell them appart.
Deep searching....
The white underparts with the new upperpart feathering makes a remarcable design.
One of the two grey plovers with a noisy greensank and a few ocuppied dunlins.
Time to rest and refuel the fat for the long journey still to come.
Always alert and following the movements of the various kites that fly the area.
