Cattle Egrets - a new species for the headland

Friday 14th April -  A Cattle Egret found on rocks by the lighthouse during the morning flew off south and was followed until lost from sight. Amazingly, just 10 minutes later, another one also flew south. These are the first records of this species for the headland.

On the lands highlights included a Pallid Harrier (present for its third day) that ranged widely across the headland as it hunted for prey and a Roller, the earliest ever.

Counts of grounded migrants for Friday 14th (and the previous five days) are viewable on Trektellen: https://www.trektellen.nl/count/view/3384/20230414
