Hello, An immature (probably 3rd-year) Lammergeier (Gypaetus barbatus) is still at nature reserve "De Slufter", Texel (Noord-Holland) this morning. The bird, that is not ringed (or dyed white) attracted a crowd of about 50 birders early in the morning (up at 4.45, first boat at 6.35 a.m.) that could watch the bird at a distance of about 500-700m. It started flying before 9 a.m. and so all the present gulls also had an early start. When flying low over the dunes and meadows the bird dwarfed the mobbing Marsh Harriers (Circus aeruginosus) - one of the latter measuring about 2/3 of one wing of the Lammergeier's! Around 10 a.m. the bird flew north and attempted to cross to Vlieland (Friesland) several times, whereby it flew as low as 10m over some birders (with video cameras), before moving south again. From 4 p.m. onwards it remains at "De Slufter" again, still at the island of Texel. Regards, Dirk Options : Repondre à ce message | Citer ce Message
