This year again in April we were on the island of Texel for almost a week , a little earlier than
in the previous year, which proved to be wrong in hindsight, the bad weather this year we had not
taken into account. Sometimes it was very cold and windy to stormy, bad conditions for good pictures.
However : We finally have found the Bluethroat and watched many hours the
singing of the males, it was wonderful to listen. In the evening in "de Geul" many nature photographers assembled. Here
at this time of the day the light is pretty good and with luck and the corresponding equipment you can take beautiful aerial photographs of
marsh harriers .
In our opinion, compared to the previous year less Common spoonbills have been on the island, we met them
only sporadically and only few, also in the air were few to be seen.
Some photographers from various forums were with us on Texel to meet them again or to get acquainted to them also was nice.
Texel will see us again for sure, maybe even at another season , we'll see ....
