IN PROGRESS
5 October Moorlinse with VHS
My second (or third) participation in this birdwatching walk. I have also walked that route by myself several times since I now know it well, and even with my pathetic orientation skills do not have to bother with maps and am not likely to get completely lost. It is a very diverse walk with lakes, fields and forest.
There were not that many birds in Moorlinse when we got there mid-morning, but one great white egret I had not seen there before.
A bit later, while walking further on, we saw many geese arriving and descending towards Moorlinse, reportedly for a rest before continuing their travel south.
We also saw two herons circling (or were they actually storks?):
By the way, there were also some large caterpillars on the paths. Thank you to Agata for styling one of them for a photoshoot :-).
Stopped for a break at Karpfenteiche before proceeding towards Bogensee:
At Bogensee, I was lucky to get some photos of a great white egret. For a moment, I thought it might be the one from Moorlinse escaping from the onslaught of geese, but after the walk, I went back to Moorlinse and saw that egret still there, seemingly unperturbed by the geese.
Below are the kinds of photos I also find interesting, but I have included some pretty landscape photos above since those are what most people seem to like. (“Pretty” is not my kind of thing. I find most of it quite puke-worthy):
Somewhere along the way, we also saw a cow and a buzzard (the latter actually too far away to be photographed with my slightly limited equipment.
And finally, the view over Moorlinse after the walk:
