Another year has passed, so it’s time for an overview. This year, we took things a bit easier with the year list. That doesn’t mean we didn’t do much birding.
We start this 2023 annual report with a brief look back at our Big Year of 2022.
Our daily twitches and short visits are tracked in this blog. Of course the reports are provided with as many photos and possible sound recordings as possible. Enjoy reading!
Every year the Gull-billed Terns take a break in their journey to Africa near Oude Pekela. They then rest on a sand excavation together with the newborn chicks. The birds come from Germany where a small population still breeds in the mouth of the Elbe. They usually stay here for a few weeks before moving on to Africa. The chicks are still fed by their parents during migration.
