Owl ringing season has commenced!!! Pretty stoked to get the adult female Tawny Owl of this pair too, I handed her last year in the same nest box. I'll wear my badges of honour with pride these coming days!

I've had serious fomo for weeks now. This crappy blurry phone-trough-a-telescope image from an hour or so ago is the world-famous (well, in twitcherland that is) Spectacled Eider currently chilling out in de Waddensea at the island of Texel, the Netherlands. 1/n
