Een overwinterende Strandplevier is super bijzonder in Nederland en op #Texel al helemaal! Deze vogel komt van de Markerwadden en zit op de strandhaak van het nieuwe duin-en kweldergebied van de Prins-Hendrikzanddijk.

"Gewapend met verschillende netten togen we op 21 december, de kortste dag van het jaar, naar de geul waar Nala de laatste weken foerageerde. Een standaard garnalennetje bleek het perfecte net te zijn om lepelaar prooien te bemonsteren."

On the other Dutch radar it is very clear birds are fleeing away from fireworks towards quiet places like the Wadden Sea and IJsselmeer (a huge inland lake). See the patterns of reflectivity moving towards the East/ESE.

A dramatic end for an ambitious Spoonbill. Yday morning LAYLA crashed into the ocean just offshore Madeira, 56h after departing from the Wadden Sea. She rested barely 7h even though she found nice Spoonbill hotspots on the way. Poor choices... #ornithology

Teenagers SILENE and SPARTINA only reached France and N Morocco on their 1st journey in 2024. Now they caught the wave to W Africa! They flew together for 10h until SILENE split of to land in basins of a phosphate factory. Let's see how far they'll go! 2/2

Over the past 2 weeks, no less than 10 Dutch GPS-#Spoonbills made the crossing from Iberia to Africa. They did so in classic Spoonbill fashion by starting the ocean-crossing near Cadiz, rather than taking the Strait of Gibraltar. 1/2 #ornithology

The www.BirdEyes.org team is thrilled to announce a new paper by Mohamed Henriques showing how Spoonbills change space use over the course of their summer stay in the eastern Dutch Wadden Sea. After breeding, many adults converge in the Lutjewad area. #ornithology

Yday >1900 #Spoonbills left 🇳🇱 via the watch-site at Cadzand!
Among them were 4 GPS-birds that departed from the Delta, including LUNA who met PLUK in flight over Ostend (🇧🇪).
Meanwhile, TAAS and HIDDE jointly flew from Balgzand to the Delta. #ornithology

Great, I hope we'll have a nice series of follow-up observations this winter. Will you send the data to our email address?

Spoonbills of Schiermonnikoog tend to move to the mainland shore in late summer, just like this year's young (yellow, left) are doing. Yet most adults (right) linger on the island. Our field crew confirms: lots of late renesting attempts! #ornithology

Prunus is back home on the wonderful semi-car-free island of Vlieland 🇳🇱 -- no doubt with quite the stories to share.
(The photo is *probably* not of Prunus herself, but some other Lepelaars on Vlieland taken a couple of years back.)
Spoonbill PRUNUS is back on Dutch soil! She reached the Belgian border yday afternoon, crossed Belgian airspace in 2h, spent the night in the Western Scheldt and finally moved to Schouwen-Duiveland in Eastern Scheldt Nat. Park this morning. #ornithology
www.globalflywaynetwork.org/tracks/speci...
Round trip complete! Spoonbill PRUNUS reached the Wadden Sea yday evening, and after mingling with the Spoonbills on Texel for the night, she arrived back at her Vlieland home this morning - 41 days since she left on her epic adventure! #ornithology

Unbelievable ... After flying south on June 8th, travelling up and down the Atlantic coast of France and Spain, and a 10-day trip into the Iberian peninsula, Spoonbill PRUNUS is now heading back north! Will he come back all the way home? #ornithology
www.globalflywaynetwork.org/tracks/speci...
PRUNUS is still hot, but still feels like he is in trouble. After showing very little movement yday, this Spoonbill moved to a tiny lake in the scorching countryside of Toledo. Fingers crossed he makes it to the coast as the heat diminishes. #ornithology
www.globalflywaynetwork.org/tracks/speci...
Spoonbill PRUNUS is still "pond-hopping" in Spain's interior. This kind of seemingly erratic search behaviour, far from the traditional Spoonbill hotspots, is often not a very good sign. Still, there is hope for this experienced adult. #ornithology
www.globalflywaynetwork.org/tracks/speci...
Spoonbill PRUNUS just keeps on surprising... After spending 8 days in central Spain, PRUNUS is now heading back rather than continuing south. Spent the night in a small wetland near Fuentes de Nava, where it also spent night of 28-29 June. #ornithology
www.globalflywaynetwork.org/tracks/speci...
After what looked like a risky 10-day adventure through Spain's interior, PRUNUS is back in familiar terrain. This morning he arrived in the Reserve de Chaise de Lesgau in SW France, where he spent several days around mid-June. What a bird ... #ornithology

Less than 3 wks ago the first of this year's cohort of juvenile Spoonbills tagged for www.waakvogels.nl ventured out on the mudflats.
By now, most are making long trips, and some are exploring the mainland shore!
They grow up so fast! 😆😍 #ornithology

Vorig jaar konden we via een GPS-tracker luistervinken tijdens de trek van Lepelaar SOLANUM. De soundtrack inspireerde Tjibbe Stelwagen, coordinator waakvogels.nl en muzikant, en componist Caspar Koolstra. Hun composite is op 5 juli te horen op festival Dudeljo!
www.waakvogels.nl/publicaties/...
Dat Tjibbe en Caspar in Lauwersoog spelen is alvast erg toepasselijk. #Lepelaar SOLANUM is geboren "aan de overkant" op Schier. Daarna verbleef ze wekenlang bij 't Lauwersmeer, tot ze daarvandaan naar Portugal vloog. Ik zocht SOLANUM paar keer op, en zag haar bedelen, stoeien, vissen en spelen. 👀🪶😍

After a hectic back-and-forth along the Atlantic coast, and >1 week stop-over in S France, PRUNUS started crossing the Iberian plateau this weekend.
Spent last night in far from optimal habitat. While she make it through the 40°+ heat? #ornithology www.globalflywaynetwork.org/tracks/speci...
Spoonbill PRUNUS' latest data is not looking good. Spent yday in a little creek. Headed back to nearby lake last night. Mostly immobile all morning after a short flight at twilight.
Peak temp of 40°C today. Even higher expected tmrw. #ornithology 🥵🪶
