Of course I had some time also to go birding. And in Holland also like in Panama this time of the year, you can enjoy bird migration.
It was a bad summer in Holland, so I prepared myself very good and brought warm clothing...also a few summer clothing and that is what I did wear!! From day one I had great weather until Monday 3th of October. What a lucky girl I was/am!!!
My brother in law, Sjaak van der Sel was so kind to go with me on some trips, he took great pictures and I will show some of them here in my blog.
Birding in Holland is tough and I had some challenges, uhhh and frustrations...Gulls!!!
First year Gulls, second year Gulls...oh my gosh!!!! Still busy with ID!!
On 28th of September we went to the "Zuidpier" in IJmuiden. In the afternoon around 4pm until 8pm.
It was "Panama" warm and we were surrounded by people in swimming clothes. We were walking in our "birding clothes"

(Haematopus ostralegus)
(Phalacrocorax aristotelis)I had a good look at him .
Fortunately other persons saw him also over there.
It was special to see him there.
These Geese (probably migration) were silent,
so I cannot ID them .
I did make some pictures, down below

( I took it with my small camera, I was happy,
it was a new bird for me!)
