Didn't find the cattle or little egret and no additions to the life list, but it was a nice time being out in the sunny weather at #Arkemheen!

Same field, 2 hours apart!
Fall migration is awesome; in early spring I was excited to have been able to see a single #NorthernLapwing, but last Friday there were fields full of them, hundreds or thousands all grouping up to head south soon.

Kievit in de polder

Lapwing in the polder

Today was the first time I managed to get some good shots of the northern lapwing. The male was doing some aerial acrobatics before diving towards the female and then they foraged a little bit in the field before flying off again. 🪶 #birds #birdphotography #lapwing #kievit #peewit #matingseason #deschammer #leusden #spring

Super actief – Vogelplaatje

Purmer – Ze zijn er weer volop in de polder. Met veel lawaai gaan de Kieviten alle kanten op wanneer je over wandelpaden loopt. Uiteraard bewaken zij hun nesten goed. En ook terecht. Het broedseizoen is volop aan de gang.

Purmer - They are back in abundance in the polder. With much noise the Lapwings go in all directions when you walk on footpaths. Naturally, they guard their nests well. And rightly so. The breeding season is in full swing.
