Moin, #Goldenplover and #Dunlin are almost extincted in Germany, so we can see them only during #birdmigration or as winter guests.
At this time of the year they still have some rest of their summer plumage.
Sorry for bad pictures, I haven't had my birding equipment around during family holiday.

As we kick into July #Autumn starts to become a lot more obvious!

Already the Collared #Pratincoles are moving away from the colony and forming pre-migratory flocks in the campo. Already the first small groups of White Storks are crossing The #Straits and European Bee-eaters are forming dense migratory groups, often roosting next to our house in their hundreds!

....Installing Autumn mode....!

#birding #BirdMigration #Today
I didn’t snap quick enough but here is a pic of the male migrating Indigo Bunting. He doesn’t hang around here very long but both male/ female are here every year eating see from the feeders . Females are a small brown bird.

Spring #birdmigration is on! Today's #birds included red-eyed vireo, black and white warblers, hooded warblers, Kentucky warblers, pileated woodpeckers, yellow-breasted chat, Swanson's thrush, white-throated sparrow and all the normie birds

Spring #birdmigration is on! Today's #birds included red-eyed vireo, black and white warblers, hooded warblers, Kentucky warblers, pileated woodpeckers, I found what I mean

I’m sure I just heard #Swifts in #Derby, although I didn’t look up fast enough to see them. Seems a little early! Has anyone else seen them, or am I just going mad? 🤪

Visited a metro Denver park a few days ago to photography migrating birds. My first time seeing the white-faced Ibis and the American Avocet.

The birds are in motion. 🦆 Spring species arriving in Nova Scotia everyday. Please don't let your cats and dogs disturb them. Also be aware of night lights as they confuse the birds direction. Many are killed flying into windows and towers. #birdmigration https://abcbirds.org/blog/five-fantastic-bird-migration-facts/
