The year 2021

is coming to an end. Looking back, it has been a wonderful bird year with beautiful species for the Texel Avifauna list. A new Texel species is Eastern Bonelli's Warbler. Other highlights include American Golden Plover, Greater Sand Plover, White-rumped Sandpiper, Ross's Gull, Squacco Heron, Daurian Shrike and White's Thrush. At the time of writing, the last rarity of this autumn is Pied Wheatear. The first sighting was on 16 November on the beach at pole 20, De Koog. On November 26, the bird was found in the parking lot at pole 17 (Ecomare) and was beautifully visible there until November 28.
