Last week I already was able to make shots of the rare Isabelline Wheatear (Izabeltapuit). Around the same time a Desert Wheatear (Woestijntapuit) was found in a place called Westkapelle, in the South-West of the country. Since I already had made shots of this species some years ago, I didn’t go there immediately. But last weekend we had planned some days in that area with friends, so when it turned out the bird was still around, we decided to pay it a visit on saturday morning. The day started (and stayed) heavily overcast, so I had to make shots with 1/100-1/250s. Still most of them came out all right, as you can see in this blog. To my surprise it was not busy at all with other birders – a little later we found out why: another (extreme) rarity had been sighted some 2km further south: a Dartford Warbler (Provençaalse Grasmus). We have twitched that one as well, but no record shots alas… The bird was extremely skulky…. But I was able to add it to my list 😉 …
