A nice surprise!
The bird you are seeing in front of you is a Common Sandpiper (in Dutch: oeverloper). For us Dutchies it isn't that common at all since they are pretty difficult to find. Imagine my surprise when one landed on my kingfisher branch! These are quite small and funny birds. They run around like crazy along the waterside looking for small insects in the mud or between rocks. They hardly ever land on branches but this one did! I guess it needed it's moment of glory in front of the camera.
Tomorrow I'll post the best photo of the weekend. This evening I'm going to go back to the place where I took that shot, this time with some camouflage gear on (it's going to be a hot afternoon I'm afraid). That reminds me, I have to take a shower before I go so the deer won't smell my Hugo Boss Bottled I put on this morning ;p.
Until tomorrow!
