Öland waders


The limestone plates along the south-east coast of Öland attracted a lot a migrating waders. Some adult birds still had much of their summer plumage; see the black-bellied Dunlin (Calidris alpina/Bonte Strandloper) on the 2nd  photo and the red-orange out-of-focus Knot (Caladris canutus/Kanoet) on the last photo. Note the different conditions in light during this this afternoon session.

Ik was in de gelukkige omstandigheid dat ik een paar weken terug ook Kanoeten zag en de Rosse Grutto. Jij hebt de kanoet ook al zo mooi in beeld gebracht. Prachtig.

Groetjes, Helma
