Great Grey Shrike in Fochteloërveen
- Details
In Fochteloërveen a deviant Great Grey Shrike is seen since August it looks like it is going to be a subspecies of our Great Grey Shrike. It is probably a Lanius excubitor homeyeri. Reason enough to combine this with a visit to the Lauwersmeer..

Aquatic Warblers and a Great Spotted Cuckoo
- Details
In the past two months I have not really made any trips. Although I did some birding now and then and that led to two new lifers in the Netherlands, a Red-throated Sandpiper on Texel and a Spotted Sandpiper in the province of Zeeland. My year list has grown to 277 species and 23 species still to go. Today was the province of Noord-Holland on the program with the target species, the Aquatic Warbler and the Gull-billed Tern.

A report of a Melodious Warbler in Limburg is enough for a visit to the Provence. We also want to visit the Glanville Fritillary butterfly at the Bemerlerberg.
